Not since the days of Microsoft astro-turfing have I seen such a campaign against a tech company. Some of these metrics are very subjective and I've seen so many bone-headed security bugs in equipment over the years (Cisco, Nortel, TP link, Dlink...) that I really have difficulty believing the narrative of state sponsored malice.
Regardless, Huawei needs to clean up their practices.
Ineptitude isn't a defense and this level of sloppiness is unacceptable; We have too much at stake with these essential networks, and I think legislation of security practices and standards in these products should be considered.
- robocat 7y ago> Regardless, Huawei needs to clean up their practices. Sure. So does every crappy home router manufacturer, Android manufacturer, security cam manufacturer etc: singling out Huawei is retarded. Personally I suspect that biggest issue is that the US doesn't wish to lose their own NSA phone/txt backdoor access (thumbs in everyone's pies). They have access to most US TCP/IP traffic, so they don't need to target router manufacturers.
- dade_ 7y agoYes, but this is actually an opportunity for Huawei. If I was them, I would take these findings and hire a team of hackers/sec researches to rip their products apart, fix the issues and then put then up for independent comparison with competitors. They have all of the resources one could dream if to be the best for security. It would be nice if anyone would set a high bar.
