Huawei can&#x27;t patch basic security holes (namely ancient OpenSSL versions sprinkled through their LTE Basestation codebase): <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;hcsec_huawei_oversight_board_savaging_annual_report&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.co.uk&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;hcsec_huawei_oversi...</a><p>HCSEC asked Huawei to update these vulnerable libraries last year when Huawei promised a $2 billion investment in security, yet this really basic firmware maintenance task has yet to be performed.<p>Huawei also did the same thing with a Windows driver: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;how-microsoft-found-a-huawei-driver-that-opened-systems-up-to-attack&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;gadgets&#x2F;2019&#x2F;03&#x2F;how-microsoft-found-...</a><p>This company does not give a fuck about security, even when they are under scrutiny. It isn&#x27;t the &quot;Chinese hackers&quot; I&#x27;m afraid of, but rather normal blackhats and greyhats exploiting this cornucopia of vulnerable software to our detriment.
