SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 RYAN MORGAN
More than ten thousand U.S. troops and civilian employees at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska may be at risk of having their cell data stolen after Chinese equipment was installed on a nearby cell tower.
Last week, Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) wrote to the U.S. Department of Commerce to raise concerns about equipment made by Huawei reportedly being used on cell phone towers near U.S. military bases. He asked the department to confirm whether Huawei equipment was used on the towers.
Huawei is a Chinese telecommunications firm. It has been included on the U.S. list of foreign entities to which trade restrictions are applied. That list is maintained by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
