NSA Hacked Huawei, Stole Source Code

Posted by timothy on from the whose-line-is-it-anyway dept.

Charliemopps (1157495) writes "New documents from Snowden indicate that the NSA hacked into and stole documents, including source code, from the Chinese networking firm Huawei. Ironically, this is the same firm that the U.S. government has argued in the past was a threat due to China's possible use of the same sort of attacks."
