The Feds may ban the sale of TP-Link routers in the US over ongoing national security concerns about Chinese-made devices being used in cyberattacks.<\/p>\n

Three federal departments \u2014 Commerce, Defense, and Justice \u2014 have opened investigations into the router manufacturer, according to a Wall Street Journal report, citing<\/a> “people familiar with the matter.” Plus, a Commerce Department office has reportedly subpoenaed TP-Link.<\/p>\n

The Register<\/em> reached out to TP-Link and and the Justice as well as Commerce Departments but thus far, all have declined comment. We will update this story if and when we hear back from them.<\/p>\n
