Huawei can snoop on phone networks - anyone surprised?

I don't think this company will ever be OUT of the news.

You buy technology from China you should expect to have your knockers inspected constantly.

The lame excuse that the backdoor is for law-enforcement may fly in communist nations but around here you need a warrant for anything.

China probably gave this gear away just to get it on our networks.

@Flyslinger2Not surprised at all. Sneakernet, Trojan Horse, whatever you would like to call it. They simply cannot be trusted period. Having read the Panda Claws due our good colleague @RSlade, this was just a reminder of the entire regime and its intentions.

Maybe, just maybe, the American government might buy into this. The FBI would love that capability.

Thanks for the laugh.
