Concerns have been raised about the possibility of TP-Link routers being used in cyberattacks against the US. The lawmakers cited known vulnerabilities in TP-Link firmware and instances of the routers being exploited to target government officials in Europe.
Key points:
TP-Link is a dominant player: It's the world's largest WiFi router seller by unit volume.
Vulnerabilities and exploitation: TP-Link routers have been linked to vulnerabilities and real-world attacks.
Government scrutiny: The US government is considering investigating TP-Link for potential national security threats.
