Lenovo banned from supplying western intelligence services

Lenovo has been banned from supplying hardware to the networks of the intelligence and defence services of the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, according to a report.

The news was exposed in an investigation by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) published over the weekend, which found that the hardware maker is on a security blacklist kept by the US, UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, known collectively as the Five Eyes.
