I found this article interesting.  Who knew, being a cybercriminal is boring 
and you have to deal with whiny customers.

I know its increased, but ive been really surprised there havent been more 
exploits given the turmoil and remote workforce that is short staffed. Maybe 
there is but the exploits are being efficiently used so theyre not exposed. 
thats always been a pet peeve, exploits being wasted. Its like finding  a house 
with an unlocked door and instead of coming in and making a ham sandwich every 
couple days you poop on the carpet and kick the dog. now the door is locked and 
youre still hungry.

About a month ago there was a Salt advisory, and I seem to remember some Cisco 
products being hacked, but it sounds like more of a server vulnerability.

The Traffic will just move over to other upstream connections if they both 
would have maintenance'd at the same time.  

I know what equipment is at my location, which is Ciena and TelcoSystems, but 
I'm not sure what equipment is on the other end of the fiber.

Well, it's good to not have both down at the same time.

One of my upstreams had a series of rolling upgrades for this week that has 
been postponed.

Just before one provider was supposed to start, they sent a notice they were 
postponing, the other provider did the upgrade last night.

We got notices late this afternoon from 2 seperate upstreams of emergency 
maintenance overnight tonight for software upgrades. Was there some sort of big 
bug that was just found on one of the switch/routing platforms?
