Earlier this week, a researcher from the University of Leuven discovered a critical flaw in the WPA2 wireless communication standard that leaves all Wi-Fi-connected devices vulnerable to attacks.

As we wrote yesterday, researcher Mathy Vanhoef confirmed that “an attacker within range of a victim can exploit these weaknesses using key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs).”
