A report commissioned by the Papua New Guinea (PNG) government has suggested that China-based telecommunication giant Huawei deliberately created software vulnerabilities in a PNG government cyber data centre they built, the Australian Financial Review has reported.
The Aug. 11 article revealed that a government inquiry had uncovered that the Port Moresby Data Centre had a “catalogue” of significant security flaws after Huawei used out-of-date encryption software and insufficient firewalls to store PNG government archives, which left the PNG government open to espionage.
