Reply to comment by lughnasadh in The cloud and 5G security apocalypse is only a matter of time, say cybersecurity experts. Western companies that have switched from Huawei for 5G have made choices that are even more vulnerable to hacking. by lughnasadh
I'm not sure I understand.
People are moving away from China, but by doing so are allowing China to dominate the industry?

I think it’s more like:
Huawei has superior technology and by not working with them, the software countries are using, is subpar in terms of security. (Based on the “racing ahead with 5G adoption” comment)
So by not allowing them to be a part of it, they have inadvertently made it easier for Chinese hackers to gain access more so than if they just integrated huawei to begin with.

Nothing provided by a Chinese company is secure. This has more to do with data and IP sovereignty than it does with technological advancement.

A few different people comment in the OP article.
The TLDR version is that the companies that have switched from Huawei for 5G have chosen even less secure and easy to hack software.

Well it’s either Huawui hardware with built in back doors for Chinese state hackers to have guaranteed access or other hardware that might be less secure in general but lack the Chinese back door.
So they could actually be more secure from Chinese hacking but maybe less secure from random black hats?
