US may ban sale of home internet routers from this popular Chinese company due to ‘national security risk’

The US government reportedly is investigating Chinese router manufacturer TP-Link over potential national security risks, with authorities considering a ban on the sale of its home internet devices in the US as early as next year.
Citing people familiar with the matter, a report by the Wall Street Journal said that concerns have arisen about the security of TP-Link routers after a recent Microsoft analysis revealed that a Chinese hacking group has compromised thousands of these devices to launch cyberattacks against Western targets, including government organisations, think tanks, and defense contractors.
