if you are thinking that cisco is least bothered with brain dumps ,
....think again

i completely disagree with you !

1)imagine , when poeple pass with dumps in first attempt . it is a loss to
cisco , as dumps prevented him/her attempting the next two attempts.

As on avg it takes 3 attempts . (on avg)

2)further it is loss for training companies as well , including cisco 360
. As most people " might " say ...why take such expensive training when
their is " really " easy way ?

3)when cert is diluted ....which company is not worried ?

on that note ...dont think cisco is freely throwing away the " expert "
title on any one using dumps ...

my believe is proctors changes the labs on daily basis ...... if you say
labs are same , and do not chage with time , you probably promoting the
cheet sites
