Lawmakers Call for Probe into TP-Link Routers
News summary

US lawmakers John Moolenaar and Raja Krishnamoorthi have urged the Department of Commerce to investigate the security risks associated with Chinese-made TP-Link Wi-Fi routers, citing concerns over potential hacking and espionage by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In their letter, they emphasized the widespread use of TP-Link products in military and civilian settings, highlighting significant vulnerabilities that could be exploited by state-sponsored hackers. The lawmakers pointed to recent cyberattacks linked to Chinese APT groups that have targeted TP-Link routers, raising alarms about potential infiltration of US systems. TP-Link, which dominates the US market for Wi-Fi devices, is subject to Chinese laws that could compel it to hand over sensitive data to the government. The Commerce Department has yet to respond, while the Chinese embassy has dismissed the allegations as unfounded. The investigation request underscores growing bipartisan concerns over national security related to foreign technology.
