The finding adds to growing Western concerns about cybersecurity risks posed by Chinese-made networking equipment. Because routers manage internet traffic between connected devices and the wider internet, vulnerabilities affecting them can expose entire home or business networks. Western governments have warned about Chinese-linked hackers abusing small office and home office routers and other internet devices to gain access to networks for later intrusions as well as cyberespionage. The findings come as U.S. officials continue to increase scrutiny of networking equipment manufactured by companies with links to China. In February, Texas filed a lawsuit against TP-Link Systems, alleging the networking company exposed American consumers’ devices to Chinese regime access.
