Am I defending TP-LINK? What a timeline we live in.Sign up for the IoT Security Digest newsletter!https://iotsecd.brownfinesecurity.com/subscribeNeed IoT pen...
Idk, it surprises me it took so long for TP-Link to get into trouble with how they tend to support every HW revision of their routers for about a year and then stop releasing any security updates for them. That’s awful for a device intended to sit at the edge of your network, possibly having a public IP address.
Like sure, you can look for any reasons you want, but not giving a fuck about security in a device that’s always connected to the internet and also routes all user traffic is bound to get companies in trouble when someone with the power to do something about it notices.
