World’s largest telecom and communications equipment manufacturer, HUAWEI is now being probed by cross-department investigation team under the Govt. of India’s orders to look into alleged hacking of BSNL Network.
IT & Communications Minister KilliKriparani has assured the LokSabha on 5th February during the parliament session that it has come to the ministry’s notice that the BSNL Network in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh has been allegedly hacked by the Chinese company and the government has constituted an inter-ministerial team to investigate the matter. Although the said hacking incident reports have been circulating for months, the minister didn’t share any further details in her written reply as to why the government took so many days to probe in and take action on the international giant.
