Taskforce seizes phony Cisco gear worth $76B

摘要

An international law enforcement taskforce last week said they have made more than 400 seizures of counterfeit Cisco network hardware being trafficked between the United States, Canada and China with an estimated retail value of more than $76 million. The initiative targeted the illegal importation and sale of counterfeit network hardware, in particular network routers, switches, network cards and modules manufactured by Cisco. By intercepting the counterfeit hardware at ports of entry and dismantling illegal supply chains in the United States, the operation has achieved significant successes in protecting the public from the risk of network infrastructure failures associated with these counterfeits, officials said in a release.
