Subject: taking their revenge @ cisco

Looks like the folks at DEFCON have found other targets at Cisco .. 
somebody hacked the CCO password database :

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/login

MPORTANT NOTICE:

     * Cisco has determined that Cisco.com password protection has been 
compromised.
     * As a precautionary measure, Cisco has reset your password. To 
receive your new password, send a blank e-mail, from the account which 
you entered upon registration, to cco-locksmith@...co.com. Account 
details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you.
     * If you do not receive your new password within five minutes, 
please contact the Technical Support Center.
     * This incident does not appear to be due to a weakness in Cisco 
products or technologies.

(gotta love that last bullet)
