Don’t you just hate it when you finally tell someone about that computer bug you’ve been 
experiencing — and all of a sudden, it stops happening?

This doesn’t mean the story is over, though. A Cisco spokesman says the team will continue the hunt and publish details "as they are available." Dark Reading - Black Hat Flaw Eludes Cisco - Security News Analysis
