WiFi Krack attack.

I just heard about this today. If you use WPA2, there is an inherent vulnerability in the protocol.

Actually, this is far, far worse. The attack also compromises RSA token security, that's an even bigger security threat than the wifi aspect with WPA2. RSA is used for a majority of two factor authentication. A very large amount of companies and government agencies use RSA to protect their access to data and tools. If you use a token to access a game like WoW, this attack affects you.

Yes, I'm not downplaying the threat. My home is pretty secure as I know my neighbors in range (50 yards from either end of my house). They are a retired lawyer, and a carpet installer.

Work is fairly secure (on a peninsula) but theoretically a bad actor from the public might come fishing. But, personally, a small fish in a pond of thousands of devices. A truly devious actor would find much better hunting in any big building in Minneapolis.
