It is both of those things.
And why wouldn’t it be? Huawei is a large organization and, like all large organizations, will consist of a multitude of different groups all trying to achieve the same goal in different ways. Some will want to rob the bank by tunnelling quietly into the vault at night, some will want to walk through the front door with a sawn-off shotgun.
- lifeisstillgood 7y agoFair enough - see my edit above. The only protection against dumb or clever shit is some means to verify SoCs are what they claim to be (yes very hard, but a future with Open source SoCs, and supply chains where you can inspect enough to be confident - that future can be glimpsed from here and it's a future where everyone wins)

Dumb shit will have security vulnerabilities due to being made by programmers who don't care, pushed to do it faster by managers who don't care.
