RESEARCHERS SOLVE JUNIPER BACKDOOR MYSTERY; SIGNS POINT TO NSA

“Although the party behind the Juniper backdoor could be the NSA or an NSA spying partner like the UK or Israel, news reports last week quoted unnamed US officials saying they don’t believe the US intelligence community is behind it, and that the FBI is investigating the issue. Other possible culprits behind the sophisticated attack, of course, could be Russia or China. If someone other than the US did plant the backdoor, security experts say the attack on Juniper firewalls underscores precisely why they have been saying for a long time that government backdoors in systems are a bad idea—because they can be hijacked and repurposed by other parties.” Source: https://www.oodaloop.com/osint/cyber/2015/12/22/researchers-solve-juniper-backdoor-mystery-signs-point-to-nsa/
