Chinese intelligence joins US and Five Eyes coalition in public-private partnership global surveillance program, information sharing agreement to be discussed in upcoming trade talks.
Whataboutisms only work when the accuser is assuming something un-ordinary is happening, after knowingly or unknowingly exempting themselves from the behavior they already practice.
The article takes a lot of words to explain they left a telnet server open. It wasn’t some super secret hidden thing.
Also weird is that Huawei insisted on keeping it open until they'd completed testing... does that mean it's phoning home? Or that they have their own technicians coming around to service it?
Such a crappy article. Bloomberg should have learned from the Supermicro fiasco to include more details and not parrot a single source. At this point if IC is serious about Huawei posing a national security risk they should arrange a leak of their actual intel to force real public discussion..
I can’t tell if this is true or an organized smear campaign against Huawei for monetary reasons.
As Jon Gruber says: "Bloomberg, of course, is the publication that published “The Big Hack” in October — a sensational story alleging that data centers of Apple, Amazon, and dozens of other companies were compromised by China’s intelligence services." "The story presented no confirmable evidence at all, was vehemently denied by all companies involved, has not been confirmed by a single other publication (despite much…
I'm sure that they're going to find out that some people at Huawei do not wash their hands after going to the toilet. Do you really want your data in those hands?
This article dances back and forth between saying "vulnerability" and "backdoor", which while they may have the same end result wildly differ in intent. I can't tell the seriousness of this except for the telnet one.
Even the title could have been something else. Like this excerpt from the article:
> "Vodafone has defended Huawei against the U.S. onslaught"
> Abandoning Huawei for 5G, with Europe already lagging behind China and the U.S., could force them to rip out the supplier’s 4G gear Does anyone know what this is about? Both the need to rip out 4G gear if they don't want to use the new 5G stuff, and also the statement about Europe being behind China and the USA?
I doubt the US is that much ahead of Europe. It's true 5G networks are yet to really roll out, but with the higher population density the 4G coverage and residential internet is better in most of Europe, making the current 4G network suffice for now for many people.

Hard to know from the article, and Bloomberg does not have a good track record, if the 'backdoor' was a vulnerability , an unwanted feature or an actual backdoor. I might imagine a Chinese headline with "US firm Intel backdoors every CPU", which may or may not be true depending on your feelings on Intel ME
> Europe’s biggest phone company identified hidden backdoors in the software that could have given Huawei unauthorized access to the carrier’s fixed-line network in Italy, a system that provides internet service to millions of homes and businesses I think it is enough to be called a "backdoor".
Bloomberg added the 'political' backdoor spin.
