The West Finally Has Its Huawei Smoking Gun
- luckylion 8y agoNo, it really hasn't. The "Smoking Gun" and "Backdoor" was a telnet service. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/30/huawei_enterprise_router_backdoor_is_telnet/ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/30/huawei_enterprise_r... Quote: "The 'backdoor' that Bloomberg refers to is Telnet, which is a protocol that is commonly used by many vendors in the industry for performing diagnostic functions. It would not have been accessible from the internet," said the telco in a statement to The Register, adding: "Bloomberg is incorrect in saying that this 'could have given Huawei unauthorized access to the carrier's fixed-line network in Italy'. "This was nothing more than a failure to remove a diagnostic function after development." It's weird that Bloomberg is going all in with this and pissing away their reputation.
