The US says Huawei has been spying through 'backdoors' designed for law enforcement — which is what the US has been pressuring tech companies to do for years
The US has long accused Huawei of acting as a conduit for Chinese government spying, but this is the first time it's provided precise details of exactly how it thinks Huawei does this. Huawei has repeatedly denied that it spies for China.
Officials were non-specific about whether they've observed Huawei exploiting this access, and didn't give technical details other than to say they'd first spotted it in 2009 on 4G equipment. "We emphatically reject these latest allegations. Again, groundless accusations are being repeated without providing any kind of concrete evidence."This latest allegation against Huawei highlights a security argument which the US has been wrangling with tech companies for years — whether it's safe to build privacy vulnerabilities for use by law enforcement.
