US Lawmakers Call for Probe into TP-Link Over Security Concerns, CCP Hacks
Aug 16, 2024, 05:25 AM
Two U.S. lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to investigate TP-Link Technology Co, a Chinese manufacturer of Wi-Fi routers, due to concerns over potential national security risks. The lawmakers, Rep. John Moolenaar and Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, expressed fears that TP-Link products, which hold a significant share of the U.S. market, could be exploited for cyberattacks by the Chinese government, specifically mentioning vulnerabilities to CCP hacks. Rep. Ben Cline highlighted the risk of the U.S. being forced to hand over personal data to Chinese officials. The committee on CCP is actively investigating these concerns, which come amid broader worries about the security of Chinese technology products in the U.S. market.
