The world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer Huawei isn’t in the US’ governments Christmas list. President Trump and his administration have made their mistrust of the Chinese company publicly known, and the United States government cannot purchase products manufactured by Huawei owing to security concerns. Amidst all this, the company is launching fantastic gadgets that have caused both Apple and Samsung to break a sweat. Now, we’ve got a report from Europe that claims that backdoors were present in equipment sold by Huawei to carrier Vodafone. Take a look below for more details.

Today’s report is from Bloomberg, and it covers the time period between 2009 – 2012 during which European carrier Vodafone identified backdoors present in several of Huawei’s products. The first product in which Vodafone discovered vulnerabilities and backdoors were routers from Huawei that were intended to be used by Vodafone’s customers personally. These routers had what’s known as a ‘Telenet’ backdoor, which allowed Huawei to access sensitive data and control the devices remotely.
