I'd hardly presume Huawei is a front for a foreign intelligence service, but their software for cellular basestations is extremely vulnerable (hundreds of different vulnerable versions of OpenSSL sprinkled through) and they still can't be bothered to use version control, despite committing to address both issues back in 2012: https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-huawei-british-security-chinese-telecom-20190328-story.html https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-huawei-bri...
Huawei's products are vulnerable by default, anyone can look up the applicable CVEs and run the proof of concept code for said CVE to pop a shell. China doesn't have exclusive access :)
- RantyDave 7y agoNo, I think it is, that would explain a lot of things - like how can they make/sell premium mobile phones for less? If the Chinese govt is paying you (say) $100/user to plant a back door, that would certainly help. Remember that Huawei settled out of court to the 'allegation' that they copied Cisco's source code. So, are Facebook a front for the CIA?
