The US government has announced that it is possible to prove that Huawei has incorporated an illegal backdoor into its products. Historically, the US government, which has been reluctant to provide concrete evidence, seems to have been reluctant to backtrack on Huawei's elimination of its allies, such as the United Kingdom and Germany.

Robert O'Brien, Assistant Secretary for National Security Affairs, said on February 11, 2020, `` We use Huawei's global sales and maintenance system to secretly disclose confidential and personal information. We are ready to show solid evidence that the theft is possible, 'said the Wall Street Journal.

According to O'Brien, mobile communication devices such as antennas and base stations that Huawei sells to carriers around the world are equipped with backdoors in such a way that carriers can not be detected. That it is. As a result, O'Brien points out that law enforcement has been able to 'secretly intercept smartphones and other communications around the world for over 10 years.'

According to the Wall Street Journal, `` In the United States, law requires law enforcement agencies to have 'means for accessing the network for legitimate reasons' on telecommunications equipment, Must be implemented in a way that would be inaccessible without it, but Huawei's backdoors could access confidential information without even the knowledge of the carrier, which is illegal in countries around the world, including the United States. ' Reported.



The U.S. government has long called for

Huawei products to carry information and communications risks and has urged government agencies and companies in their country, and even allies, to eliminate Huawei. On the other hand, Huawei has taken the position that 'it is not necessary to provide concrete evidence ' regarding security as confidential information.

It is thought that the background of the US government's major change in policy here is the urgency for the current situation of Huawei's increasing involvement in US allies. In January 2020, the British government announced that it would allow Huawei to participate in building a 5G network in the UK. In response to this decision, President Donald Trump was displeased in a telephone call with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a very strong tone of 'failure.'

The German government, headed by Angela Merkel, has also been reportedly reluctant to remove Huawei from the 5G network .

O'Brien has signaled a sense of crisis by saying that Huawei is proposing to European countries to build a 5G network at a very low price, 'a gift that will fall.'

Meanwhile, Huawei chief security officer Andy Purdy told the IT news site The Verge: 'We firmly deny our claim that we have such a feature. We gained unauthorized access to customer information and data. There's nothing that has ever happened. '
