Spain’s Huawei contract exposes EU to security risks, critics say

China may gain intelligence access, undermining bloc’s moves to build digital unity

Huawei has been contracted by Spain to store judicial wiretaps.

LONDON — Spain’s decision to use Huawei Technologies hardware to store judicial wiretaps opens the European Union to security risks and undermines the bloc’s new digital strategy, experts warn.

The Spanish Interior Ministry awarded a 12.3 million euro ($14.2 million) contract to Huawei this month to manage and store information obtained through the wiretaps on the Chinese technology giant’s OceanStor 6800 V5 servers.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
