And yet from the free to export US we keep finding backdoors and hardcoded admin passwords in things that are supposed to be way more secure than a random chat client. Even if all of them are actually bugs I'm not sure that is any better. No E2EE to share my shopping list with my girlfriend versus the piss poor security in enterprise hardware from manufacturers like Cisco etc? At least I can download another chat client. Purging US enterprise equipment from my company, home and ISP? Not so much.
- 0xy 6y agoHuawei's security doesn't come close to Cisco's security practices. Mostly because the vast majority of their hardware and software was sourced from stolen IP (Huawei had cash bounties for employees to provide stolen IP to the company). If you sell stolen technology, you don't truly understand how it works or how to secure it. Given the choice, I'd choose Cisco every day of the week. It's not perfect but then again there's no such thing as perfect security. With an E2E messenger, you can be sure that most likely your communications are not being intercepted. With a Chinese company, your communications are never secure. Not only are Chinese software products not secure, but they'll lie to you about their security. Zoom claimed to have E2E encryption on calls which turned out to be an egregious fabrication (on top of them exporting calls to Chinese servers).
