Posted on October 17, 2017

Well, it’s a new day, and yet another serious security issue has arisen. And this one affects literally every device you own that communicates over Wi-Fi.

CyberSecurity Researchers have discovered a critical flaw in the WPA2 security protocol that can allow hackers to eavesdrop on (and even hijack) your Wi-Fi communications, regardless of how securely your devices and network are locked down.
