Despite such a progressive and deep-rooted reputation Huawei is currently facing political scrutiny regarding security concerns, a prevalent factor in the reasons for its limited economical growth in the US. Failure to acquire 3com led to Huawei not landing any major US contracts. This seems to be having a small domino effect in other countries also, examples being UK government offices scrapping all Huawei video intercom devices and even going so far as to review a UK cyber security centre run by Huawei, also, India’s state owned BSNL dropping Huawei from it’s suppliers after being advised by India’s own intelligence bureau, stating that Huawei can not be trusted with it’s sensitive telecom expansion. Similarly, Australian defence and intelligence organizations successfully advised the Australian government to ban Huawei from participating in it’s $38 billion NBN (National Broadband Network). After suspicion arose from the US regarding Huawei’s (and other major Chinese companies) ties to the Chinese government and several cyber-attacks being linked back to China, China has developed a bad reputation for cyber espionage. As such, US officials have stated that the use of Huawei’s hardware within US government buildings could make it very easy to spy on the US government, Michigan politician Mike Rogers even stated that China is known to be a major perpetrator of cyber espionage, and that Chinese companies could not be trusted with access to computer terminals and networks
“Sophisticated spying technology sold to the Mexican government for the purpose of tracking terrorists and criminal networks has instead been deployed against dozens of journalists, academics, human rights lawyers and anti-corruption advocates, a potential violation of Mexican
Smart phones have become a major part of daily life. They allow people all around the world to communicate with each other instantly. Smart phones enable people to access all the information they need in mere seconds using the Internet. Most people go about their days without any worry while using their smart phones. Smart phones have been a tool by the public for many years now, but they have also been used as a tool for something a little more nefarious.
The backdoor it too dangerous to be created and could fall into the wrong hands.
One of the biggest questions being asked today is if our own government is spying on us using these new technologies. There has been though that the government has been doing so for the past decades but few years the topic has been really brought to light with all of the terrible things going on throughout the world and in our own country. One of the most popular acquisitions that the government is taking is the idea that they are engaging in economic espionage. The NSA has been accused of this and through the past year have denied the acquisitions. Though this is not invading directly on the privacy of the public people what this is saying is that there is the potential for the government to access our personal privacy in many different ways. If they are able to gain access to probably some of the most private information on other countries economics that are more than likely protected with much higher security than that of our own personal email accounts than what can they really see about us.
This is the biggest indictment on the charge technological espionage under the Economic Espionage Act since last year when 5 members of the China's People's Liberation Army were also indicted last year. The theft itself was over a chip that is vital in the manufacture of cell phones from two small American tech companies that the professor and 5 others worked at in the United States. They took the technology back to Tianjin University and created a joint venture company with the school, manufactured the same chips, and sold them to commercial companies and the Chinese military. Two of the men applied for a patent for the technology in the United States on behalf of Tianjin University in 2010, prompting the federal investigation that indicted the two men and four others linked to the university. This source reflects a possible future of students in the computer science field who continue in their path of dishonesty and theft after completing their
Huawei technologies company Ltd is a well reputed company. In Bangladesh they are now in top positions. Huawei strictly maintain some rules and regulations to their all department.
Corporations that move into China have long recognized that internet censorship is a fact of life. In 2006,
In today’s world technology has evolved to the point where a large amount of information is stored in cyberspace. It is because of this type of storage people around the world have an easier time at accessing information than ever before. The time before the late 20th century gathering information was long and tedious to get a book that the library did not own would take at least a couple of weeks depending on the time period or it may not have been possible to obtain that book. But now people can access a vast amount of information in a matter of minutes. Example, in modern times if someone wanted to know about a different culture they could simple look up the information on a computer or any device that had access to
Huawei also pitched the fact that any Cisco-trained engineer could operate the Quidway router with ease. Cisco’s rise to the leadership in networking equipment and technology was the result of many years of diligent, hard work and creativity. Cisco holds several patents, copyrights, and trade secrets that are critical to its success. Huawei, on the other hand, chose to make shortcuts and had complete disregard for the sanctity and legality of intellectual property. In fact, Huawei’s Vice President confessed that “all the world’s leading equipment suppliers are our learning modules.”[1] Can Huawei’s belief in “learning” from their competitors and Cisco’s belief that Huawei stole and copied intellectual property be attributed to a differing ethical perspective due to culture? We will discuss this in Section 3.
In industrial espionage, Chinese companies target and recruit an insider, an employee that will steal information for personal gain or as an agent of foreign organization or country. Chinese companies will just recruit employees away from employers that have the knowledge that is needed. The technology company Huawei has linked to multiple intellectual property thefts, from the stolen router product secrets from Cisco to trying to recruit Motorola employees to steal secrets. I remember hearing about a case where a former Motorola software engineer was sentenced to four years for stealing trade secrets for a Chinese telecommunications company Sun Kaisens that supplied equipment to the Chinese
By having complete control over the few entities and their network connections, the Chinese government is able to monitor and regulate the Internet more effectively. Sherman, co-author of “Red Wired: China’s Internet Revolution”, explained that “China is not on the Internet, it's basically an intranet. Everything is banned by the Great Firewall”. Although Internet is accessible outside of China, the vast majority of the population refuse to use it because it is so inconvenient (Herold, 2012). For instance, recurrent time-outs, very slow Internet connection, and the content
Cyber Security also called computer security and IT security, is the assurance of data from theft or any harm to the gadget, the product and information stored on hardware. It incorporates controlling physical access to the equipment and additionally ensuring against code or data injection or via network access.
Interests: If Google also provide services such as Gmail, chat rooms or blogging that involve users’ personal information, The Chinese government could abuse the information that Google provides as it did with Yahoo. This will critically damage its principle of “Don’t be evil”
The Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines cyber security measures taken to protect a computer or computer system (as on the Internet) against unauthorized access or attack Most people think that hackers are just people that want to mess up your computer, but real hackers break into systems because they want to see what they can do, then they might leave a message on the victims computer, but that’s it. So, the computer security people protect from those other hackers that want to mess up peoples computers. The means we take can as individual to protect ourselves in the cyber world is be anyomous on websites, don’t post your personal information ,have virus protection install on your computer, get spy
