The focus is on devices manufactured or supplied by entities linked to countries deemed adversarial. The goal is to assess whether these common household devices could be exploited for espionage or network disruption, potentially leading to future consumer protection measures.
Key points
The US government will study whether home routers and modems from companies linked to foreign adversaries pose security threats.
