TP-Link, a prominent router manufacturer, faces a potential U.S. ban amid security concerns. The U.S. departments of Commerce, Defense, and Justice are investigating TP-Link regarding its susceptibility to Chinese state-sponsored cyber attacks and adherence to Chinese laws that may compel the sharing of sensitive U.S. information. While the company denies any deliberate misconduct and asserts operational independence from its Chinese counterpart, the investigation has highlighted the risks associated with the control and influence foreign laws have on technology firms operating in the U.S. TP-Link is taking steps to prove its separateness and maintain market trust.
