U.S. officials are investigating the security risks of the widely used Chinese-made TP-Link router, which is suspected of being part of a large network of compromised devices potentially used for cyberattacks. With concerns over Chinese interference, several federal departments are involved in the probe, considering a possible sales ban by 2025. This follows national security worries over other Chinese technologies like TikTok and reflects ongoing tensions regarding Chinese products' influence and data privacy. TP-Link defends its security standards and expresses willingness to cooperate with U.S. authorities.
