Summary
In October, Microsoft published an analysis which found that a Chinese hacking entity had access to a trove of compromised TP-Link routers.
The Justice Department is also investigating whether TP-Link’s low pricing violates U.S. antitrust laws.
TP-Link denies selling below cost and claims its security practices meet U.S. standards.
The potential ban highlights growing scrutiny of Chinese tech products used widely in homes, businesses, and even U.S. federal agencies.
Show me a consumer router that isn’t made in China. Even if we were to ban all imported electronics, who would fully trust domestic? I think the best approach is DTA, man. Don’t. Trust. Anybody.
Cisco and Netgear are made in the US, I’m told. However, those are the routers that got infected with a botnet. You’re damned no matter what.
Isn’t made in Asia, maybe. A router could easily be manufactured in Taiwan or Korea. There is a ton of tech manufacturing in both countries.
