Hml roubles for I.T. gian Cisco

It seems even the big boys of I.T. don’t have their sites completely foolproofed.

For some reason (either malice or incompetence) the Cisco homepage today had all of its lowercase ’t’s removed from the source (although strangely, the uppercase ’T’s stayed behind)

While this could be a worry for Kyan’s resident tea-lovers, obviously a bigger problem for Cisco is finding out why their “syleshees” aren’t loading.

Hopefully they’re using some kind of source control so they can see who was responsible for that change to the most important page on the site
