The FCC just banned foreign-made routers — here's which ones might be stealing your data

'If an adversary can compromise the router, they can surveil your traffic.'

Foreign-made electronics are posing increased threats to the consumer, especially as the technology becomes more widely available.

In fact, other electronics are seemingly becoming part of a network with built-in back doors that, at best, are a complex network dedicated to stealing user data for profit. At worst, they are a massive national security concern.

'Not just surveillance, but real-time analysis.'

In late March, the Federal Communications Commission announced it would begin following a federal directive that bans all foreign-made internet routers. 

The executive branch determined that foreign routers "pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States or the safety and security of United States persons," the FCC wrote.
