Secure Wi-Fi hacked

in news •  7 years ago 


For years, WPA2 has been considered the most secure standard for Wi-Fi: anyone who used it to encrypt a network did not have to worry about attacks. Now, security researchers have discovered serious security vulnerabilities in the protocol that allow network traffic to be monitored.

Where there is a way,there is a will...
The more tech grows,the more humans grew...considering we are the ones who design the tech so they'll akways be a flaw

This is a serious call for concern @steemfither7

Has there been another better option?

WPA2 were designed by humans and has sustained Wi-Fi for long now, I personally have anticipated an WPA2 upgrade for long now.

Now this is a serious issue, a way out is on the way

I believe the remote access is one of the reason that cause an security attack too.

Will they be able to come up with a new security protocol, you think?
