'KRACK' attack potentially affecting all Wi-Fi devices

- By Nuadox Crew -

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alerted to cyber risks tied to a commonly used system for securing Wi-Fi communications after Belgian researchers discovered a flaw that could allow hackers to read information presumed to be encrypted, or infect websites with malware via a key reinstallation attack, or "KRACK". Such is potentially affecting the vast number of Wi-Fi users around the world.

The alert from the DHS Computer Emergency Response Team said the flaw could be used within range of Wi-Fi using the WPA2 protocol to hijack private communications. It recommended installing vendor updates on affected products, such as routers provided by Cisco Systems Inc or Juniper Networks Inc.

Belgian Researchers Mathy Vanhoef and Frank Piessens of Belgian university KU Leuven disclosed the bug in the WPA2 protocol, which secures modern Wi-Fi systems used by vendors for wireless communications between mobile phones, laptops and other connected devices with internet-connected routers or hot spots.
