This is no news. Every phone manufacturer does the same shit from Apple, Samsung, Huawei... they all pack unsuspecting malware into their devices. The thing though is that China appears to be taking the whole malware thing one notch up. Was it not too long ago China was alleged to have bugged the African Union HQ it funded and built in Ethiopia? Truth is, the US, Britain, France...all do the same thing. Question is, what is Africa doing to protect the data and privacy of its people from the subtle tech war going on between the West and China? 4 Likes 4 Shares |

shegzhkn:Dont think so. China is spending more money on research and development to close the tech gap. Infact in lots of areas China has supposed the US. Eg telecoms. China has like 24k against the US 8k patent registration. Check out world patent registration 2019 China leads the world in New patent registration. That is why the US is acting like a bully using sanctions on Chinese tech companies to slow them down. If the US loses the high tech industry to china, they have nothing else except defense industry of which China is also catching up making arms at quarter cheaper price than US. https://www.statista.com/statistics/256845/ranking-of-the-10-countries-who-filed-the-most-international-patent-applications/ 1 Like |

This is a wake up call to all Nigerians. People don't love us yet we patronize their items. In the world's largest black country, we have the ability to create and manufacture items that will be of great benefit to our countrymen and women. Take Nord motors for example, if we can be able to create moto on Nigerian soil , why can't we do the same with phones and other objects as well. We will be buying phones and materials from people with intentions to destroy us. Anyways sha......God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria [color=#000099][/color] 1 Like |

Bought a p2p tiny wifi camera in chinamall dubai, the fact that dns and portwarding is not required made me curious. I dumped the whole camera firmware via jtag and was amazed how the chinese could do that. Millions around the world own such cameras at home. Simply install the camera app and use. The chinese created a hidden admin login embedded in the firmware, a backdoor. This means your videos are routed direct to a chinese server, recorded or even viewed live without your consent. Your created login credentials are saved in plain text without any form of encryption and the app is in constant sync with the server. nawao for chinco ooo Fear those guys. Nothing new that most chinese phones has stealth malwares preinstalled. 5 Likes 1 Share |

The one wey shock me is the one they are doing now manipulating phone specs. In computer village many of those Chinese phones, if you check the settings it will say 3G, 4G RAM etc but the actual RAM will be 1GB or less or they phone storage settings will say 32 or 64GB but the actual figures will be 16GB or less. They have pre-programmed the handset to display the wrong or inaccurate specs deliberately. Worst is that many of those phones seller for computer village know about this but are conniving to scam their fellow countrymen. Nawa for this country. That's why many people will buy 64GB phone, installed few apps and save few content, and before you know it, no space to save anything again. It's because the pre-programmed phone settings specs na scam. Same thing with processor speed. 3 Likes |

That why US banned phones like huawei and other chinko brands cos of imbedded malware. These imbedded apps read your personal data and upload them to servers, costing you data and airtime. Android 5.1 versions of phones like coolpad are not rootable even when you succeed to root some of them the process is reversed by the phone itself. 1 Like |

These are the kind of human beings people have bn clapping for and casting America that China has taken over the World Power. Just don't pray that China takes over the supreme position of America in the World Power tussle. If that happens, China will just unilaterally handle the world they way that will suite only them. Avery country will be like a slave to them. 1 Like |
