British company unmasks Huawei
Although Vodafone has warned that these vulnerabilities have been resolved, this could affect the Chinese carrier as the United States tightens its grip on Huawei when the 5G (fifth-generation mobile) theme is the order of the day.
Bloomberg cites Vodafone documents from 2009 and 2011 and, according to sources linked to the case, the British operator has identified potential problems with equipment provided by Huawei for fixed Internet in Italy, a service with thousands of residential and business customers in that country.
These functions hidden in Huawei's software would allow the equipment to access the fixed network without authorization in Italy.
The problem has been solved ever since. In a statement, Bloomberg said, Huawei said it was aware of the flaws in 2011 and 2012, having solved the issue.

According to the information provided, Huawei would not be involved in the core business, but rather in less sensitive infrastructures such as antennas, although there are many reservations on the part of the British executive, with the United States pressing for that the Chinese operator be banned.
