If you are, did you know this:
“Information technology companies in particular, including Huawei, Datang, and Zhongxing, maintain close ties to the PLA.”

That’s the People’s Liberation Army of China, in case you don’t recognize the acronym. The NSA is concerned that Huawei equipment, which they blocked from installation in virtually every cell phone tower in America, might contain back doors feeding your information to the Chinese.
Considering the way the Chinese have been hacking the shit out of American companies, this does not seem far-fetched in the least. I for one feel suddenly very sensitive about whose equipment I’m buying or recommending. And it’s time to start monitoring the traffic emanating from them. Who exactly is that box talking to?
Thanks to the ever-alert Herbbie for another scary tip.
