Microsoft has warned that hackers working for the Chinese government are exploiting a botnet of thousands of routers and other IoT devices, primarily targeting users of its Azure cloud service. This extensive network is dominated by TP-Link SOHO routers, which have raised concerns due to alleged security flaws often found in their default settings. The company's practices have been criticized for lacking engagement with security researchers, potentially compromising user security on a wide scale.
In response to the criticism, TP-Link emphasized their commitment to security and stated, 'We welcome any opportunities to engage with the US government to demonstrate that our security practices are fully in line with industry security standards.' This indicates the company’s intent to assure stakeholders of their security measures as they face scrutiny over the alleged misuse of their products in cyberattacks.
