Chinese Routers Sold Worldwide Contain Backdoors

ZBT routers sold globally as white-label products contain multiple implants installed by the manufacturer. These devices reach customers through various distribution channels without disclosure of the backdoors.

Why it matters: Organizations using ZBT routers or white-label variants face persistent remote access threats from the manufacturer, requiring immediate device audits and consideration of replacement or network isolation.
