AMSTERDAM - Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei has a hidden “backdoor” on the network of a major Dutch telecoms firm, making it possible to access customer data, newspaper De Volkskrant said on Thursday, citing unidentified intelligence sources.
The newspaper said Dutch intelligence agency AIVD was looking into whether the situation had enabled spying by the Chinese government. Earlier, a company representative was quoted in De Volkskrant as saying Huawei complied with all laws in every country where it operates, and “keeps the door closed to governments or others who want to use our network for activities that would threaten cyber security.”In April, the agency said it was “undesirable for the Netherlands ... to depend on the hardware or software of companies from countries running active cyber programs against Dutch interests,” naming China and Russia.
The report comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump banned Huawei from buying vital U.S. technology without special approval and effectively barring its equipment from U.S. telecoms networks on national security grounds.
