Canada’s cybersecurity watchdog is refusing to say whether it found the same security and software defects in telecommunications equipment from China’s Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. that Britain’s cyberspy agency identified last week.
The British government’s National Cyber Security Centre, which oversees the vetting of Huawei gear and includes officials from Britain’s GCHQ signals intelligence agency, issued a report last Thursday citing ongoing security and software engineering problems with Huawei gear.
The Globe has reported that Canada’s military and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service want Ottawa to block Huawei, saying it is not a trusted vendor and that its 5G equipment could be used for Chinese espionage or to disable crucial infrastructure during an international crisis.
