New and Confident
Fresh reports from WSJ reveals few US officials speaking about Huawei’s illicit access to consumer’s sensitive data through its products sold around the world. Though this allegation seems usual, it’s now more specific than ever. The US too security officials claim with intelligence reports that Huawei has set such backdoors for a long time. Robert O’Brien, National Security Advisor told WSJ that, Though the US being confident, everyone assumes these new allegations too are a part of discouraging the Chinese vendor dealing with the world’s technology. Like the US, in May last year has passed an executive order barring all its domestic firms to cut ties with Huawei, which led the Chinese giant to develop its own OS and other technologies eventually. Yet, it’s still accessed for being a Chinese spy on the world.
Huawei’s Response
As usual, Huawei declined US allegations. Andy Purdy, Huawei’s Security Chief told Verge as, This revelation could be a big blow to all those nations which contracted Huawei to craft their 5G technologies. The list includes the UK, which recently appointed Huawei to supply its non-core 5G equipment.
