> ”Huawei employees have not had unauthorized access to KPN's network and data, nor have they extracted data from that network. Huawei has at all times worked under the explicit authorization of KPN,” But doesn't the article also imply (who knows if it's true) that such access would not have been logged, in which case how can Huawei be sure there was no access by an employee which did abuse it (and was neither asked by Huawei to do so nor did Huawei know about it). Much of the "spying" attributed to companies like Cisco or Huawei are generally not done by the company but by people working for it which act outside of the companies directions (but likely where directed by external powers like the Us or China). Similar in both countries there are non-public court decisions under which we can't guarantee that the Company wasn't forced to do so and forced to tell everyone they didn't do anything like this. (can't guarantee doesn't mean it happened, just that there is no guarantee). Which is in the end the whole problem with Huawei (or Cisco) even if the companies clearly have no intention to do such thinks, it's very likely that employees from them or even they themself are forced to do such things in some cases, especially if trade and/or political relationships degrade.
