U.S. intelligence indicates Chinese telecommunications firm Huawei has the ability to hack into cellular networks via "back doors," information U.S. officials have shared with allies England and Germany.
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday those "back doors" appear to have been put in place for law enforcement use. Huawei, which many suspect has ties to Chinese intelligence, has had this spying tool in its arsenal since at least 2009.
"We have evidence that Huawei has the capability secretly to access sensitive and personal information in systems it maintains and sells around the world," National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien told the Journal.

Close them up then !!!
wow, that`s embarrassing that the u.s. intelligence service is admitting that in spite of the 23 trillon deficit that they are impotent to protect americans from this crap. let me guess, the u.s. intelligence service needs a couple trillion more dollars to do their job competently?
2:54 no, more like they don't want Huawei having backdoor access via a 5G network to most of the country's data. What deficit are you even referring to? If it's our national deficit that's on account of Trump not understanding who pays tariffs and lowering the taxes on the rich so that we spend more than we collect in tax revenue.
2:54 not embarrassing at all...it is a massive national security risk to have a Chinese (state) owned company have access to a data network in our country. National deficit and intelligence budgets are two different things. This is also an example of them ding their job competently. What are you going on about?
They all do, jokes on you moron's who don't think or believe this is true!!!! I do mean all, even APPLE, even though they lie to your face saying they care and protect your privacy, yes they took themselves out of the loop for warrants and subpoenas so they can claim they can't help the cops get your data but they too have a backdoor, cops can and do use... All tech companies do!!!!1
Northwest Woodsman: Of course they engineered in a “back door” exactly as we would have. NSA and their tech experts would have set that as a priority. Is anyone surprised by this “discovery”?
Not surprising at all, especially since any tech company operating in China has to disclose proprietary information to the government. The state owns all over there. The CIA created a tech company back after world war 2 that specialized in encryption. It was bought and used by many countries and we were able to look directly at their communications. It was called Crypto AG.
Hillary had her SECRET-BACK-DOOR too , her Secret Servers
You'll never get my Huawei. I know it is the one phone that the FBI don't have the means to crack and that is why they want them banned.
