Anyone predicting that Michael Lynn did severe damage to his career might want to retract those statements now that the former ISS researcher and current Cisco nemesis has landed at Juniper Networks. Although it's unclear what Lynn's role is or how long he's been with Cisco's biggest rival, I'm sure that conspiracy theorists will have a field day with this one. Lynn, you'll remember if you weren't on Mars this summer, has become infamous for a Black Hat presentation during which he proved what most savvy network administrators already suspected: Cisco's IOS had a serious flaw that could let hackers not just take down a Cisco switch or router but also hijack networking equipment and execute code.

It's finally public that Mike has joined Juniper. Several outlets are covering it. Wired also has an interview with Jeff Moss about the situation.

I guess we should get around to taking down the link for Mike's defense fund...

It's now public: Abaddon has been hired by Juniper
