I’m sure this is why there is a concern about Huawei.
The US usually get’s worked about this kind of stuff because we’ve done it already and know the same thing can be done by China or Russia.
It’s no coincidence this story came out the same time as the Huawei exploit of the law enforcement tapping override.
