#3This could be said of ANY telecom providers. It is all speculation without a shred of fact.

#5Interesting how this 3 day old story is getting twisted more and more. Can we stick to the facts?
Huawei was used for outsourcing, Huawei obviously has root access. If you outsource your IT to a company with known ties to a foreign government you can't complain about them having sensitive access.

Huawei had employees onsite in the netherlands for access. Unauthorized full network access happened from China.
I do agree it's again here and shouldn't be anymore. But don't claim it's normal, the audit reported it as not.
KPN even hid the report for 10 years, because it was afraid of it's contents to go public.
Ps. Yes, i speak dutch, so I read the original article on Volkskrant.nl . More information is probably getting out soon as it's being inquired currently by their government.

#7There's some debate about the degree to which the authorization could have been abused, but it today's world it's just hard to imagine how such rights and authorization could be granted in the first place.

It sounds pretty damaging considering the telecom provider hid the report for ten years.

#10Funny, a couple days ago the title was "Huawei spied on Dutch bla bla". Today it's "may have spied".
The original article (well, the translation bondarchuk posted here) says they had the access. Not that they did anything with it.
