So I see a picture of someone opening a Cisco box and then a picture of some workstation.
Besides the short paragraph, where is the evidence that either of these is an "NSA upgrade center" or anything of that nature?
I'm not saying it's not. I'm asking where the evidence is.
"A document included in the trove of National Security Agency files released with Glenn Greenwald’s book No Place to Hide details how the agency’s Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit and other NSA employees intercept servers, routers, and other network gear being shipped to organizations targeted for surveillance and install covert implant firmware onto them before they’re delivered...
... The document, a June 2010 internal newsletter article by the chief of the NSA’s Access and Target Development department (S3261) includes photos (above) of NSA employees opening the shipping box for a Cisco router and installing beacon firmware with a “load station” designed specifically for the task."
For anyone who doesn't care to read the article.
I'd think a search of 'greenwald nsa router cisco' or words to that affect would turn up the results you want.
