Both KPN and Huawei have denied any impropriety, though in the years since the 2010 report, Huawei has increasingly found itself labeled a high-risk vendor for telecoms companies to work with, including by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.

Huawei eavesdropped on 6.5 million Dutch mobile users — here’s how
Chinese technology provider Huawei was recently accused of being able to monitor all calls made using Dutch mobile operator KPN. The revelations are from a secret 2010 report made by consultancy firm Capgemini, which KPN commissioned to evaluate the risks of working with Huawei infrastructure. While the full report on the issue has not been made public, journalists reporting on the story have outlined specific concerns that Huawei personnel in the Netherlands and China had access to security-essential parts of KPN’s network – including the call data of millions of Dutch citizens – and that a lack of records meant KPN couldn’t establish how often this happened.
