The NSA would ge lwa nfiltreerd with Huawei to as vulnerabilities in the telecommunications company-made hardware. This would mean that Chinese officials bugged. Previously warned the U.S. against possible backdoors that Huawei themselves would have built.
This is clear from documents from Edward Snowden that have fallen into the hands of The New York Times. From the information provided to the site is that the NSA has actively tried to infiltrate the servers of Huawei. The American intelligence service listened to conversations of Huawei-members of the senior management and tried themselves to provide access to the building plans of the network and telecom equipment, which the Chinese company. Thus an attempt was made to get information about exploits that can be used for afluisterdoeleinden.
In one of the documents says the NSA is that many of the American targets of Huawei hardware. To the countries and organizations that understand the purchase of American equipment to avoid. Huawei makes, among other routers and network devices for companies, but also the hardware for the rigging of mobile networks. Using exploits would the NSA so it can access several communication networks, but it is unclear whether the Americans actually have security issues discovered.
The afluisterpogingen of the NSA are striking because the U.s. government in the past has warned against telecom equipment from Huawei. There were rumours that the company backdoors-in would build for the Chinese government. This would mean that the Chinese are trying to get Americans to listen. The U.s. government did not, however, prove and Huawei denied backdoors in to build.
