Been there for a while longer than 2012
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/17/juniper_screen_os_contains_unauthorised_code/ on The Register's reading of the situation, the unauthorised code may have been present since 2008, an assertion we make because Juniper's notice about the problem says it impacts ScreenOS 6.2.0r15 through 6.2.0r18 and 6.3.0r12 through 6.3.0r20. ScreenOS 6.2 was released in 2008. Screen OS 6.3 came out in 2009. |

Red China is behind it.
Juniper 'fesses up to TWO attacks from 'unauthorised code' For what it is worth, The Register has been contacted by a former Juniper staffer who suggested “Maybe you should be looking where Juniper's sustaining engineering is done for the ScreenOS products.”Product code from Chinese developers? Give me a break! Not that they can't substitute code as the product is manufactured. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |
