LONDON—British officials accused Huawei Technologies Co. of repeatedly failing to address security flaws in its products and said the company hasn’t demonstrated a commitment to fixing them.
The findings, contained in a report published Thursday, subject the Chinese telecom-equipment giant to fresh international scrutiny as it tries to fend off American accusations that its gear poses a cybersecurity threat.
In the report, U.K. officials said they were particularly concerned that Huawei hasn’t implemented companywide cybersecurity practices that it vowed to put in place in 2012, the same year a report from the U.S. Congress labeled Huawei a national security threat.
The congressional report effectively banned Huawei from the U.S. But many other foreign markets, like the U.K., embraced Huawei, the world’s largest maker of telecommunications equipment used by wireless carriers.
An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.
