BERLIN—Germany’s federal cybersecurity agency is investigating whether China’s Huawei Technologies could be a security threat after warnings from other countries, the Funke group of newspapers reported on Feb. 8, citing Economy Minister Peter Altmaier.
Altmaier told Funke that talks on security standards for the mobile network were ongoing, adding that Germany needed to protect itself “in all sensitive areas, from hospitals to telecommunication.” He also said that the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) had been activated.
