Possible Cisco Source Code Theft 189
OmegaBlac writes "According to Ars Technica, a Russian security site is claiming that Cisco's corporate network was comprimised and about 800MB of Cisco's source code for IOS Operating System version 12.3 was stolen. I guess Cisco forgot to implement their own Self Defending Network solutions."

Here is word-to-word translation (english is not my mother tongue):
Source code leak was made possible because of Cisco's corporate network compromise. Cisco gave no official comments yet.
Someone known as franz at IRC channel #darknet@EFnet showed a small part of stolen code as the proof.
First 100 lines of source file ipv6_tcp.c and ipv6_discovery_test.c is listed below.

Not really... every version of Cisco IOS since 6 has been leaked. The first time I've seen IOS source was probably 6-7 years ago. I'm not even sure why this is news.
