So, i started working for Cisco shortly after this went down, and it actually changed basically everything about their global supply chain. Anywhere that devices which would be provided to customers were at rest were blanketed by cameras and literally all procurement shipping was changed to overnight (or first overnight for anything near a warehouse) to try to make it functionally impossible to execute the same attack again.
Talk shit about their products all you want, but they were unironically angry about this issue and in classic Cisco fashion threw money at the problem until it went away.
I went to donate to Mozilla when I switched back to it from chrome early last year. It said on their website by the donate link, which was very difficult to find, that the proceeds from those donations did not go towards firefox but towards their other projects.
I don’t know if that’s the case today, but there was no way to contribute to firefox directly when I sought it out, or at least not in a way I could find. Maybe it was a stipulation of the Googlegeld, idk.
Step 1: Be hilariously wealthy from prior investments and businesses Step 2: Do a thing nobody has ever done before at a time when interest rates mean money is free Step 3: Blind luck
I’m not sure how they’re supposed to reproduce those at this point.
