WiFi Krack attack.

Indeed, I spent much of the afternoon reading up on the attack. Unfortunately, other than a Faraday cage, I don't see much to do about it.

As far as I have read the issue, you can only really solve it by either not connecting your device(s) to any WiFi network or having your device(s) updated with a patch to adress the issue. The first is impractical/impossible if you're in a (corporate) environment that relies on WiFi. The second means you have to wait for a patch that may or may not ever arrive.

On the other hand, the chance of an average civilian to be targeted at home is minescule since the attack requires the attacker to be within range of the WiFi. It is mostly an issue for corporations, anyone handling sensitive data and anyone using WiFi in public areas. And public WiFi has always been a risk.
