The action was designed to safeguard Americans and the underlying communications networks the country relies on, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a post on X. The development means that new models of","The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has banned the import of new foreign-manufactured consumer routers, citing unacceptable supply chain vulnerabilities and cybersecurity risks to critical infrastructure. The ban follows a national security determination that foreign routers have been exploited by state-sponsored actors like Volt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Salt Typhoon, as well as the Chinese botnet CovertNetwork-1658 (Quad7), to compromise U.S. networks and critical infrastructure. Existing routers already in circulation remain unaffected, and manufacturers can apply for Conditional Approval from DoW or DHS.","FCC bans import of new foreign-made consumer routers citing cyber and national security risks.","https:\u002F\u002Fthehackernews.com\u002F2026\u002F03\u002Ffcc-bans-new-foreign-made-routers-over.html","https:\u002F\u002Fblogger.googleusercontent.com\u002Fimg\u002Fb\u002FR29vZ2xl\u002FAVvXsEgCWdGgQ4RKWsSD83uBmdU0Vfi3E1vEi1qS7ImOYUXa9S6eDs5ShKP0tz3sZL5FPdt6lzwG4scb7HQPjGnsdPDFNWxZ2k8yK-whH4uU9_Ez3Nt5178ETgKceu4LpAPntUZZ7utBkHBd261B5Ltt2weQVT94qjY4wcRRGfSpv1sAZLjAVDc_oSNMPiISo4dU\u002Fs1600\u002Frouters.jpg","2026-03-25T07:11:00+00:00","2026-03-25T09:00:07.516081+00:00",8,[],"c5c77cdb-f7d7-4990-9436-c81dcbff1163",{"id":17,"icon":19,"name":20,"slug":21},null,"Policy","policy",[23],{"category":24},{"id":25,"icon":19,"name":26,"slug":27},"26b0b636-0e31-4db1-bffb-61bdf9f20a58","Supply Chain","supply-chain",[29,33],{"type":30,"value":31,"context":32},"malware","CovertNetwork-1658","Botnet used for password spray attacks, also known as Quad7",{"type":30,"value":34,"context":35},"Quad7","Botnet variant of CovertNetwork-1658 orchestrating evasive password spray attacks",[],{"controls":38,"vendors":68},[39],{"slug":40,"name":41,"problem":42,"products":43},"attack-surface-management","External attack surface management (EASM)","You find your forgotten internet-facing systems before attackers do.",[44,52,60],{"vendor_slug":45,"vendor_name":46,"vendor_logo":47,"product_slug":48,"product_name":49,"url":50,"description":51},"outpost24","Outpost24","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Foutpost24.png","outpost24-easm","Outpost24 EASM","https:\u002F\u002Foutpost24.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fexternal-attack-surface-management\u002F","Discovery and risk assessment of internet-facing assets.",{"vendor_slug":53,"vendor_name":54,"vendor_logo":55,"product_slug":56,"product_name":57,"url":58,"description":59},"watchtowr","watchTowr","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fwatchtowr.png","watchtowr-platform","watchTowr Platform","https:\u002F\u002Fwatchtowr.com\u002Fplatform\u002F","Continuous discovery of internet-facing assets, with automated testing for exploitable vulnerabilities.",{"vendor_slug":61,"vendor_name":62,"vendor_logo":63,"product_slug":64,"product_name":65,"url":66,"description":67},"detectify","Detectify","\u002Fvendor-logos\u002Fdetectify.png","surface-monitoring","Detectify Surface Monitoring","https:\u002F\u002Fdetectify.com\u002Fproduct\u002Fsurface-monitoring","Continuous discovery and testing of internet-facing subdomains and services.",[],{"slug":70,"title":71,"body":72,"framework_refs":73,"framework_notes":79},"fcc-bans-foreign-routers-due-to-supply-chain-security-risks","FCC Bans Foreign Routers Due to Supply Chain Security Risks","The FCC's ban on new foreign-manufactured consumer routers highlights critical supply chain vulnerabilities that have been exploited by state-sponsored threat actors.
