As per reports, the US government is investigating TP-Link, a Chinese company that supplies about 65 percent of routers for American homes and small businesses, amid concerns about national security risks. Reports suggest these routers have vulnerabilities that cybercriminals exploit to compromise sensitive enterprise data.

Investigations by the Commerce, Defense, and Justice Departments indicate that the routers may have been exploited in cyberattacks, raising alarms for individual users and enterprises relying on secure networks to support hybrid workforces.
