The UK's criticism comes as Huawei fights allegations that China's Communist Party could use its equipment for spying.
LONDON — Britain publicly chastised China's Huawei Technologies for failing to fix long-standing security flaws in its mobile network equipment and revealed new"significant technical issues," increasing pressure on the company as it battles Western allegations that Beijing could use its gear for spying.
The unusually direct criticism is a fresh blow to the world's largest maker of mobile network equipment, which has been under intense scrutiny in recent months. Huawei pledged last year to spend more than $2 billion as part of efforts to address problems previously identified by Britain, but has also warned it could take up to five years to see results.In the report, the government-led board said:"These findings are about basic engineering competence and cyber security hygiene that give rise to vulnerabilities that are capable of being exploited by a range of actors.
These include concerns related to a product called eNodeB, which provides a connection between the network and a user's mobile phone. The board added that overall, the problems reveal"serious and systematic defects in Huawei's software engineering and cyber security competence".
