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.
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.
