I'm sure huawei corporate is correcting the issue right now. /s But who do you think trained the ugandan cyber-surveillance team in the first place? You can piece it together from the article: They had pegasus and were trained by the israeli company (probably not an advanced version... the one that just parses unencrypted comms). But they even said it was simplistic and needed/wanted more. Of course Huawei trained them. When they were unable to "punch" through with the "pegasus-style" spyware themselves, they strolled up to their teachers and said help us senpai.

Maybe it was an ex-Cisco employee? They helped China in the first place and the Huawei hardware is almost the same. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/ciscos-latest-attempt-dodge-responsibility-facilitating-human-rights-abuses-export https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/ciscos-latest-attempt-... I don't know if the Chinese firewall has been upgraded to Chinese hardware or if it is still running on US hardware. This kind of hardware often last for 10+ years so I would not be surprised if the hardware is still mostly from Cisco.
