TP-Link Routers Risk Being Banned in Türkiye
Türkiye’s Commerce Department Proposes Blocking TP-Link Router Sales
The Turkish government has proposed blocking the sale of popular TP-Link routers after a months-long security review revealed significant risks. The move comes as concerns grow over the potential for Chinese-made devices to compromise national security.
Security Risks Exposed
A recent investigation by the Commerce Department uncovered several vulnerabilities in TP-Link’s products, including unsecured default passwords and inadequate encryption. These flaws could allow hackers to access sensitive information and disrupt critical infrastructure.
Türkiye Takes Action
In response to these findings, the Turkish government has proposed blocking new sales of TP-Link routers until the company can address these security concerns. This move is seen as a major step in protecting Türkiye’s digital sovereignty and ensuring the integrity of its critical infrastructure.
- The proposal comes amid growing tensions between Türkiye and China over issues such as trade, security, and human rights.
- TP-Link has faced similar concerns in other countries, including the United States, where it has been accused of prioritizing profits over security.
