  • Microsoft is now a much bigger risk for the world's security and business continuity.
  • @heskabeb1
    Untill these days they still can’t find any so-called back door evidence in those equipments🙄
  • @andrewareva4605
    On the day Microsoft and CrowdStrike cripples global flights, hospitals, e commerce, etc, Germany is still worried about China. 😂
  • @BrandyHeng007
    Countries using Windows OS affected worldwide except China.
  • @chilam2512
    CIA accidentally pressed the stop button today?
  • @kinngrimm
    Anyone still remember Snowden and all the neat stuff about the US survialance apperatus he showed us? If i remember correctly at that time the US had backdoors due to hardware sold to us here in most of our systems. US network card suppliers had a huge drop in customers straight afterwards and that too played a role why 5G by the Chinese was welcomed. If we truelly would want secure infrastructure, we would need in the very least to design the infrastructure ourselves and then have companies like TSMC build us for us, then control the endproduct and then install it. Not just the hardware though, but the software, too.
  • Does Huawei have a kill switch AND backdoor sypware ? I don't think so, but most of the Western hardware and software makers have the kill switches and backdoor spyware, SUCH AS ASML, APPLE, MICROSOFT, TESLA AND THE LIST GO ON.
  • @MacrosFTW
    Crowdstrike and Microsoft turn it off for you for free
  • @BrandyHeng007
    Cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike's technology to be blamed.
  • @zekeriya84
    A lot of consumer devices modems, routers that Internet Service Providers installs at homes, businesses are Huawei / ZTE. Also, USA already use millions of these Huawei devices. By the way, Huawei , ZTE, Oppo and other Chinese companies had nearly %50 of all 5G patents.
  • @user-rawe
    The answer is yes, telecommunications has, it is and it will be hacked. Information is valuable
  • @eudaenomic
    And the EU wanted the US to use Huawei also. That would be as ill advised as a country getting rid of it's farms.
  • @bgg2249
    Is Huawei a greater danger than Windows?
  • @goo8295
    US warned the EU years ago.
  • @sydca5365
    By the way, this John guy is from Denmark? I remember once Macron and Merkel's phones were both tapped by Denmark CIA at behest of US CIA.
  • @kevinclasher3160
    11:28. Like any other company, if you don’t pay the bills you turn them off, when they paid, they got it back…
  • @polysporin8332
    Even the Pentagon has an exemption from the bill to remove Huawei. If it is safe enough for the Pentagon then it is safe.
  • @bobdoe38
    Follow his eyes 😂 he is clearly getting answers and reading from a screen 😂
  • Perfect timing for this video. But today’s problem is Microsoft’s problem.
