Heartbleed bug in routers too :-(

I have been somewhat worried about the security compromise over SSL over the last couple of days and was wondering why are our authorities so slow in responding. Nothing I have read give me any assurance on how to effectively protect against this vulnerability. The best response is to do nothing which is the equivalent of hiding in a cave until danger passes.

Good grief, even the network hardware is vulnerable. Fortunately I quit using Cisco products long ago but fixing this is a real headache. IT departments must be cursing under their breath with so much extra work for nothing.
