Kr00k Not As Bad As Krack

I know many will say...What???

Bottom line, researchers have reported a newly discovered software bug that could leave your WiFi communications open to hackers. Affects most routers and devices from Amazon (Echo, Kindle), Apple (iPhone, iPad, MacBook), Google (Nexus), Samsung (Galaxy), Raspberry (Pi 3) and Xiaomi (Redmi), but also access points from Asus and Huawei.

There’s a lot of detail in this article https://www.zdnet.com/article/new-kr...96071590469308

What to do? By now your devices and routers have an update available to protect against the bug. So make sure you stay up to date with patches for your devices.

If you don’t know the status of your device, just stay off WPA2 and only use WPA3 WiFi authentication protocol.

Just sharing in the spirit of communication and TRF community awareness.
