Huawei cell phone unsafe? US media: big data in the hands of the FB and telecom operators more worth the worry

Recently, a number of U.S. intelligence chiefs proposed recently that based on information security reasons, the U.S. public will be required not to use handsets made by Huawei and ZTE in mainland China. "PCMag", a well-known US technology media, believes the U.S. government is overly sensitive to Huawei and ZTE cell phone equipment security issues In contrast, social software such as telecom operators and Facebook users submitted at the request of the government will be even more worthy of the concern of the U.S. people.

After the U.S. Congress blocked the sales plan of the cooperation between Verizon, AT & T and other two telecom operators with Huawei's handsets, the relevant leaders including the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the FBI and the Defense Intelligence Agency recently recommended to the Senate Intelligence Committee , Calling for people not to use Huawei or ZTE brand mobile phones.In fact, as early as 2012, the House of Representatives said the government should suspect the infiltration of Huawei and ZTE and other Chinese telecom companies.

"PCMag" believes that Huawei and ZTE both started their business with telecom bureau-side equipment and base stations and other communication technologies. During the development, Huawei and ZTE may be supported by the government, the so-called suspected "government background." This is a difficult issue for cell phone products to be promoted in the U.S. market The main reason is that the intelligence agencies in the United States have no worries or concerns, but both companies are committed to openness and transparency. Mobile phones are also different from other devices. The response of the U.S. government is too sensitive.

Huawei and ZTE smart phones equipped with Android system, equipped with unicorn or Qualcomm processor, "PCMag" analysis, the most important thing is that everyone is supervising, for example iFixit will open the entire phone, the technology website will evaluate the various XDA Forum Experts analyze parts without the potential for spyware or back-in, and even more have to worry about having large amounts of data, social software or search engines such as telecoms to be submitted at the government's request or people's favorite Facebook pages .

Some land media pointed out that the same was named ZTE Axon M mobile phones can be sold on the AT & T website, another land-based brand OnePlus empty machine also welcomed by the United States users, why not Huawei? In fact, have to face some difficulties in foreign markets, take a look Apple and Samsung can understand the situation in the Chinese market. Huawei, which has had a negative reaction to incidents such as "employing the water force," "brushing praise," and "flashing door," should work harder to make it truly open and transparent. That's it.
