Juniper network has had a major breach which has led to suspicions of a group of foreign hackers spying on the encrypted communications (within the government and private companies) in the U.S for last 3 years.

FBI has already started investigating the breach in which hackers are discovered to have installed a backdoor in the computer equipment of the network.
