The security researcher in the article says: “””
Asked about how Huawei compares with its competitors, Levy said: “Certainly nothing is perfect, certainly Huawei is shoddy, the others are less shoddy.”
“””
So, apparently from that person’s viewpoint, yes.
- IshKebab 7y agoHe doesn't really know though because only Huawei has been properly audited.
- adrianN 7y agoI also read the article, but I wanted to know whether I should trust that security researcher since I can hardly imagine worse practices than those leading repeatedly to logins with hardcoded passwords (aka backdoors).
- dangerface 7y ago> You wouldn’t expect to have, in six months since we published that report, less than that, them coming out going ‘we’ve fixed it.’ That would be unachievable. The security researcher also states they will hold that viewpoint regardless of Huawei's actions. I don't think their viewpoint is based on the competition or security standards.
- pinewurst 7y agoThere's more to shoddy than just security. I'm personally familiar with Huawei storage for example - implementation and support are _significantly_ below competitive norms. Example: critical configuration processes involved filling out an Excel 97 (yes 97 and this was last year) spreadsheet and uploading it to the storage system. Yuck!
