Who is Hacking who? - I am totally confused.



First Huawei equipments were supposed to have Chinese Bugs

Now, it is supposed to have been hacked by NSA.

So, I am going to simply presume that at any given point of time , one or more of the United Nations member states are  listing and collecting data from device (of their interest).


According to the article:- 

According to new reports over the weekend from The New York Times and Der Spiegel and based on documents leaked by Snowden, the NSA succeeded in penetrating equipment at Huawei headquarters in a plan to monitor communications on the company's networking equipment worldwide.

Among the information cited by newspaper was a 2010 document detailing Shotgiant operations. However, covert operations against Huawei go as far back as 2007, 

U.S. government officials for years have suspected that Chinese networking companies have worked with the PLA. For example, a congressional committee concluded an inquiry in 2012 with members still in doubt about the security of networking equipment from Huawei and ZTE

In addition to selling networking equipment, Huwaei is also the third-largest vendor of smartphones in the world.
