Former Pentagon analyst: China has backdoors to 80% of telecoms
Quote:
The Chinese government reportedly has "pervasive access" to some 80 percent of the world's communications, thanks to backdoors it has ordered to be installed in devices made by Huawei and ZTE Corporation. That's according to sources cited by Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, who now writes for WND
I'm not as skeptical as the author. Thanks for the post. Had read something along these lines (somewhere) a few weeks ago. Have little trouble believing the 80% figure.
