Now, top US intelligence officials are taking further steps to ensure that smartphones from Huawei and ZTE are not used in the country. According to CNBC, the heads of CIA, FBI, NSA and the director of national intelligence have advised Americans to steer clear of smartphones from these companies. FBI Director, Chris Wray, said

And it provides the capacity to conduct undetected espionage,”
