Texas AG Sues Wi-Fi Company over Links to China
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued TP‑Link Systems Inc., alleging the Wi‑Fi maker deceived consumers by marketing its routers as "Made in Vietnam" while sourcing most components in China. The complaint cites longstanding firmware vulnerabilities that Chinese state‑backed hackers have allegedly exploited and claims the company must share user data with the Chinese government under local law. Paxton seeks civil penalties and injunctions forcing TP‑Link to label products as "Made in China" and to stop asserting security guarantees. TP‑Link denies the allegations, asserting independent U.S. operations and secure data handling.
