The incoming Trump administration could take action next year.

TP-link is reportedly being investigated over national security concerns linked to vulnerabilities in its very popular routers.

    We have this really great approach to security where we allow the adversary to infiltrate a huge portion of our infrastructure for years and at many different levels, and then we say “hm, maybe we shouldn’t be allowing this?”

      Almost like it has less to do with security and more to do with securitization of economic competition.

      Well its just natural for coubtries to do this at this point when they dont like each other

      In an off topic, I often prefer a open hardware router like raspberry pi router as it gives me control! For me it’s safer to use as documentation is open like pfsense and openwrt.

        I don’t understand why doesn’t Raspberry Pi make a router when they’ve ideas like the 500 🤦🏻‍♂️

          There’s already OpenWrt for Pi. All you need is to add a switch or a USB ethernet adapter.

            I mean as a direct product that average people can directly buy instead of TP-Link.

                If anyone at the user level is concerned about backdoors, the OpenWrt One comes straight from AliExpress. 😂 With that said there’s probably magnitudes less risk of something nefarious going on with a low volume machine built by Banana Pi than TP-Link.
