But on social media, and among some cyber-security experts and ex-Nortel staff, suspicions live on that Nortel died at least in part because its intellectual property was plundered, as an upstart Chinese rival soared past it in the telecom industry.
Such views will not be disabused by a new indictment that U.S. prosecutors filed last week. It accuses Huawei of using various methods to steal other companies’ intellectual property for decades.
“What people need to hear is that economic espionage caused Nortel’s failure,” insists Brian Shields, the security advisor who uncovered the massive hack. “So others better beware lest they succumb to the same fate.”
