Chinese spy fears on broadband frontrunner

Cameron Stewart From: The Australian December 18, 2008 12:00AM

NATIONAL security concerns about Chinese espionage could threaten the new frontrunner for Australia’s $15 billion publicly backed national broadband network.

Security agencies will closely examine the bid lodged by Singtel Optus, which is believed to propose the involvement of Chinese telecommunications equipment-maker Huawei Technologies to help build its network. Huawei was the subject of a US congressional investigation on national security grounds this year after legislators expressed concern about its links to the Chinese military and intelligence apparatus. The concerns led Huawei to withdraw from its joint $US2.2billion ($3.3billion) bid to buy a stake in US internet router and networking giant 3Com.

The security woes continued for Microsoft after Chinese security researchers mistakenly released the code needed to hack a PC by exploiting an unpatched vulnerability in Internet Explorer 7.

At one point, the code was traded for as much as $15,000 (£10,000) on the underground criminal markets, according to iDefense, the computer security branch of VeriSign, citing a blog post from the Chinese team.
