<div dir="ltr"><div>Agreeing with Dom.  I'd have to imagine the difficulty and cost of implanting something surreptitiously into a sub-$100US consumer router to not be worthwhile, especially since such devices are often just a single circuit board inside a plastic shell that may not be easily disassembled (the small TP-Link units in particular).<br>


<br></div><div>Seems far more likely this sort of thing could happen to US-made rackmount equipment sold to foreign ISPs, data houses, and similar enterprise-scale clients.  Less so to end users.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">

The way I read that Guardian article, they are talking about "Big Iron", not domestic routers.  The sort of thing that would be shipped<br>
to a large enterprise, a government, an ISP, or a telecommunications<br>
company.<div><div><br>
