U.S. Investigates TP-Link, Chinese-Made Routers with 65% Market Share, for National Security Risks; Possible Ban in 2025
Dec 18, 2024, 12:05 PM
U.S. federal authorities are investigating TP-Link, a Chinese router manufacturer that holds approximately 65% of the U.S. home router market, over potential national security risks. The investigations by the Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Justice focus on security vulnerabilities linked to cyberattacks associated with TP-Link's internet routers, which are widely used in American households. This scrutiny could lead to a ban on the sale of TP-Link routers in the United States as early as 2025. The probes come amid growing concerns about the security implications of using Chinese-made technology in critical infrastructure and consumer devices.
