Spain confirms using Huawei to store judicial wiretaps, denies security risk

Spain said it only relies on Huawei Technologies to operate part of its wiretapping system, and dismissed any security risks. MADRID – Spain said it only relies on Huawei Technologies to operate part of its wiretapping system, and dismissed any security risks. Huawei storage within the so-called Sitel judicial wiretapping system 'represents a minor part of a watertight, audited, isolated and certified system in compliance with the national high-level security scheme,' a government official said in a statement on July 18 in response to questions from Bloomberg News. The comments follow recent media reports saying that the government uses Huawei technology to help operate Sitel. The reports led US Senator Tom Cotton and Representative Rick Crawford to write to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard earlier this week to request that Washington pull back on sharing intelligence with Spain. Even though Spain has moved away from Huawei as a 5G network vendor, the country's reliance on the company for a key intelligence function creates a gaping security concern for the the US and its allies, Mr Cotton wrote. In July 18's statement, Spain's government said its intelligence agency CNI is not included in the Huawei contract and that Huawei equipment is not used for any classified information. Sitel is used by security forces that report to the interior affairs ministry. 'The Sitel system is completely isolated from any external environment and continuously monitored by a dedicated cybersecurity team with capabilities in traffic analysis, network management and perimeter security capabilities, supported by cybersecurity personnel' from the security forces, the government said. 'The integration of Huawei-branded storage into Sitel has therefore not posed any risk to the system's security.' European countries are increasingly moving to exclude Huawei and other telecom vendors with ties to hostile governments from their networks. Germany, Portugal, the UK, Sweden and France have already taken steps to block equipment seen as a security risk based on its country of origin. Equipment made by Huawei and other Chinese vendors has also been blacklisted in the US. BLOOMBERG

US aims to ban Chinese technology in undersea telecommunications cables, World News

WASHINGTON — The Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday (July 16) it plans to adopt rules to bar companies from connecting undersea submarine communication cables to the United States that include Chinese technology or equipment. "We have seen submarine cable infrastructure threatened in recent years by foreign adversaries, like China," FCC Chair Brendan Carr said in a statement. "We are therefore taking action here to guard our submarine cables against foreign adversary ownership, and access as well as cyber and physical threats." The United States has for years expressed concerns about China's role in handling network traffic and the potential for espionage. The US has broad data security concerns about the network of more than 400 subsea cables that handle 99 per cent of international internet traffic. Since 2020, US regulators have been instrumental in the cancellation of four cables whose backers had wanted to link the United States with Hong Kong. The FCC last year said it was considering new rules governing undersea internet cables in the face of growing security concerns, as part of a review of regulations on the links that handle nearly all the world's online traffic. The FCC said it was considering barring the use of equipment or services in those undersea cable facilities from companies on an FCC list of companies deemed to pose threats to US, national security, including Huawei, ZTE China Telecom and China Mobile. Carr said the FCC is taking action to "guard our submarine cables against foreign adversary ownership, and access as well as cyber and physical threats." The FCC will also seek comment on additional measures to protect submarine cable security against foreign adversary equipment. The cutting of two fibre-optic undersea telecommunication cables in the Baltic Sea prompted investigations of possible sabotage. In 2023 Taiwan accused two Chinese vessels of cutting the only two cables that support internet access on the Matsu Islands and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea may have been responsible for the cutting of three cables providing internet service to Europe and Asia.
