From CNET: Vodafone apparently discovered hidden backdoors in Huawei equipment as far back as 2011.
The European carrier found vulnerabilities in routers and other equipment that could have given scandal-scarred Chinese company Huawei unauthorized access to its network in Italy, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Both Vodafone and Huawei told Bloomberg these vulnerabilities were addressed in 2011 and 2012.
However, the outlet reported that the vulnerabilities remained after that and could also be found in Vodafone's UK, German, Spanish and Portuguese businesses, citing anonymous sources. Vodafone apparently kept using Huawei equipment because it was competitively priced.
