They’ll steal all your stuff
You can’t track people and steal all their stuff! That’s the US government’s job!
Change the name of the company and relabel all the phones, send from a new location, etc. It’ll take the US another 5 years to catch up, again. It annoys the heck out me that troops are allowed to carry such devices into operational areas anyway!! Give away locations much? Tactical intel much? Names much? Good grief!!
I was considering a ZTE phone earlier this year. I’m glad I went with LG.
The African Union headquarters hack and Australia’s 5G network
In January 2018, France’s Le Monde newspaper published an investigation, based on multiple sources, which found that from January 2012 to January 2017 servers based inside the AU’s headquarters in Addis Ababa were transferring data between 12 midnight and 2 am—every single night—to unknown servers more than 8,000 kilometres away hosted in Shanghai. Following the discovery of what media referred to as ‘data theft’, it was also reported that microphones hidden in desks and walls were detected and removed during a sweep for bugs.
What seems to have been entirely missed in the media coverage at the time was the name of the company that served as the key ICT provider inside the AU’s headquarters.
It was Huawei.
