UK won’t ban Huawei in British 5G technology, defying U.S. warnings

Posted on by

U.K. officials won’t prohibit Chinese telecommunication giant Huawei from providing equipment when the country constructs its 5G wireless network, a decision that comes after the Trump administration spent more than a year urging Britain to ban the company  over security concerns. The U.K.’s National Cyber Security Centre said Tuesday it will keep Huawei away from providing “sensitive functions” to “core” areas of the network. The government also will prevent organizations that oversee equipment networks from purchasing more than 35% of their networking infrastructure from a “high risk vendor” like Huawei, a move that the National Cyber Security Centre that will prevent Britain’s new, high-speed internet from becoming “nationally dependent” on technology that could be problematic. Allowing Huawei into Britain’s upcoming internet infrastructure with stipulations effectively is a compromise between the Chinese company and Western intelligence agencies that have warned Huawei beholden to China’s government, and thus presents a national security […]

Huawei sues FCC for icing U.S. business, claiming a lack of evidence

Posted on by

Huawei is suing the Federal Communications Commission over a measure passed last month that limits the Chinese telecommunication firm’s ability to conduct business in the U.S. The suit, filed in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over Huawei’s headquarters in Texas, involves the FCC’s recent decision to designate Huawei as a security risk. It blocks U.S. firms from using government subsidies to purchase Huawei equipment. The suit alleges the U.S. government flouted Huawei’s due process rights, and represents the $107 billion company’s latest effort against a Trump administration effort to isolate Huawei from the construction of 5G cellular infrastructure. “The FCC claims that Huawei is a security threat, but FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has not provided any evidence,” Song Liuping, Huawei’s chief legal officer said Thursday during a press conference in Shenzhen, China, according to The New York Times. The FCC did not return a request for comment. The suit against the FCC demonstrates how Huawei increasingly […]

Trump’s national security adviser warns Canadians against Huawei 5G tech

Posted on by

A top White House official warned Canadians this weekend against allowing China-based Huawei to help in building out Canada’s next generation 5G telecommunications networks. “The technology allows China to put together profiles of the most intimate details, intimate personal details, of every single man, woman and child in China,” President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, said at the Halifax International Security Forum, according to CBC News. “When they get Huawei into Canada or other Western countries, they’re going to know every health record, every banking record, every social media post; they’re going to know everything about every single Canadian,” O’Brien said. Given that China has a law that would require Chinese companies to yield to Chinese intelligence agencies’ requests, the Trump administration and lawmakers are concerned that Beijing could use Huawei and other Chinese-based companies for spying. O’Brien threatened that Canadian-U.S. intelligence-sharing could be affected if Canada goes through […]

Mozilla ups bug bounty rewards to $15,000 on critical sites

Posted on by

Bug bounty researchers probing for vulnerabilities in Mozilla software now will be tempted with more cash after the browser-maker doubled most of its rewards and expanded the list of targets. In a blog post Tuesday, Mozilla said it’s marking the 15-year anniversary of its Firefox browser by dedicating a higher budget to its bounty program. Rewards for critical, core and other Mozilla sites are doubled, while remote code-execution vulnerabilities now are worth up to $15,000 on critical sites. Meanwhile, Mozilla also is asking researchers to try hacking its Autograph cryptography service, its Lando code repository tool, the Phabricator, which reviews code changes in Firefox, and Taskcluster, the framework for continuous integration, among others. “We hope the new sites and increased payments will encourage [researchers] to have another look at our sites and help us keep them safe for everyone who uses the web,” Simon Bennetts, a security automation engineer, said […]
