mw3230 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Many people have commented on the forum about how they are very happy with Huawei communication devices . ..... it seems that the government are less sure! http://www. independent. co. uk/news/uk/home-news/are-huawei-the-enemy-within-gchq-is-tightening-its-supervision-of-the-giant-chinese-telecoms-companys-uk-headquarters-9013869. html Edit - sorry about the title but I don't know how to edit that part of the post. Mods can it be changed to "Huawei" please? Edited December 19, 2013 by mw3230 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipbroker Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This is not new really but only comes into play where equipment for GCHQ is concerned. There have been other instances where they have been accused of fitting 'bugs' into Embassies etc. ..........don't think my '3' mifi modem comes into that class yet! geoff Quote Kia Sorento KX-1 CRDI 4WD towing an Elddis Affinity 530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petercheason Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 They can spy on me as long as they like, if it wasnt for someone called "Spam" and various close friends and family I would never get an email! As for my interweb browsing it consists of anything Caravan or Sport related, bet they get bored before I do. In fairness from reading the article it seems they are only carrying out due diligence, and the Chinese are co-operating, so nowt wrong with that .

matelodave Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Sounds like paranoia to me - I'd be more wary of what Apple put in their iPhones & what sort of data mining Google, Facebook etc. etc are doing. I bet half the stuff in your local telephone exchange is now being made by Huwawei, ZTE or any of the other myriad Chinese companies that we've done technology transfer deals with, so I wouldn't get too upset about them. In the meantime I'll quite happily use my Huawaei mobile phone & data dongle knowing that there are a lot more people out there already spying on my credit card, car number plate and even my national insurance number Edited December 19, 2013 by matelodave Quote 2018 S-Max Titanium 2. 0 Tdci (177. 54bhp,180ps,132kw) Powershift + 2015 Unicorn III Cadz, Ventura Marlin porch awning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw3230 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 I agree with you all. If anyone wants to spy on my internet use then they are welcome. I don't get upset about Google data mining either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Huawei are a banned import into the USA, they put so many back doors into their kit so they could spy on anyone, the UK doesn't seem to mind, so much for our national security.

milkymarsh Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Huawei are a banned import into the USA, they put so many back doors into their kit so they could spy on anyone, the UK doesn't seem to mind, so much for our national security. Marks - all network vendors have a back door. They are obliged to do so in case govt authorities need them to do so. So hardly attributable at solely huawei I work with them every day and have no issues with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFM Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hardly unique to Huawei; security vulnerabilities that can readily be exploited have been found in domestic routers as well. http://thehackernews. com/2014/01/hacking-wireless-dsl-routers-via. html. I have always used the internet assuming that everything I send unless specifically encrypted (I need to send secure files on occasion) is read by someone else I don't know about. Quote Enjoy every minute of every day. It doesn't last nearly as long as you'd like, and there's no guarantee of coming this way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
