Hack In The Box: researcher reveals ease of Huawei router access

Researcher Felix “FX” Lindner has just revealed to attendees of his talk at security conference Hack In The Box how easy it is to gain access to Huawei routers and telco equipment, spelling out how backdoor access is not necessary if an attacker wants to get in and access traffic that runs through them.

He told the packed room in Kuala Lumpur, “I don’t know if there are backdoors – but it doesn’t matter since there are so many vulnerabilities.”
