CSO: Three years before Australia banned Huawei from bidding for the National Broadband Network (NBN), the US National Security Agency (NSA) burrowed into the company’s networks to steal email and product source code, according to reports published on Saturday.
The networking giant was hacked by the NSA as part of “Shotgiant”, an operation that by 2009 had given the agency more information on the company than it knew what to do with, according to a report by Der Spiegel that’s based on documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
