In the past few hours, the news of endangered WLAN networks unsettled users and, of course, manufacturers. Serious security gaps in the WPA2 security standard are reported.

According to Hot Security researchers have discovered the threatening security gaps in the WPA2 encryption protocol, which is used to secure WLAN hotspots. Various security researchers warn that attackers should be able to break into, eavesdrop on and manipulate WPA2 by means of the attack called “KRACK”.

You have to be close by

However, you have to be in the vicinity or in the reception area of the WLAN for an attack. It is not possible to dial into WLAN networks via the Internet at will and carry out these attacks. This significantly limits the potential damage to the vulnerability.
