Four states sue TP-Link over router security and alleged China ties

TP-Link says the attorneys general of Florida, Montana, Iowa and Nebraska filed lawsuits against it. Iowa's attorney general alleges the company misled consumers about router security and its China ties, and claims its firmware gives the Chinese government access to Iowans' devices and data. TP-Link calls the lawsuits “built on false premises,” says its U.S.-sold devices are made in Vietnam and rejects claims its products grant foreign governments unauthorized network access.
