In a report about their findings, they named 26 phone models with the malware. All of the phones are manufactured in China, with the exception of the ConCorde, according to technology news website Softpedia. G Data contacted the companies to let them know about the malware, and only two responded.
Huawei told them the security breaches must have taken place further down the supply chain, outside the manufacturing process. Hayter suspects the malware is being installed by a middleman, somewhere between the manufacturers and the phone shops. Hayter noted that details on the infections came from users who installed G Data mobile security software on their smartphones. The phones may have come from the manufacturers, or they may have been purchased from Amazon or a side-street phone store. The Chinese regime has a track record of using similar smartphone malware to spy on people.
The software would give the hackers full control over the phones. In the recent cases, however, two factors suggest this is the work of cybercriminals and not government spies. For Chinese authorities, this would be an unnecessary step, since they already have broad-brush domestic spy programs in place to locate dissidents.
What the findings do point to, however, is the poor security standards for Chinese smartphones, which often market themselves as cheap alternatives to larger brands. Figure 5. Hardware Management.
Configuration patterns provide a way to ensure that you have consistent configurations applied to managed servers. You can also determine whether the settings on a server are in compliance with the server profile. The settings on a server can become out of compliance with its server profile if settings are changed without using Configuration Patterns or if an issue occurred during deployment, such a firmware issue or an invalid setting.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be used to manage the OS images repository and deploy operating system images to managed servers. To deploy an operating system image from Lenovo XClarity, at least one of the network interfaces Eth0 or Eth1 must have IP network connectivity to the server network interface that is used to access the host operating system.
