KRACK Attacks: Breaking WPA2

quote [ We discovered serious weaknesses in WPA2, a protocol that secures all modern protected Wi-Fi networks. An attacker within range of a victim can exploit these weaknesses using key reinstallation attacks (KRACKs). Concretely, attackers can use this novel attack technique to read information that was previously assumed to be safely encrypted. ]

Well fuck, what a great way to start the week if you work in IT.

Well, my social security number, my birth day, all of my past addresses, employment history, and my credit information have all already been leaked. If someone needs my search history from pornhub to complete the set, more power to them.

You could be like juiceboxxx and post it for karma. I mean, if someone is going to profit off of it, might as well be you.

For the first half of the article, I kept expecting it to turn into a Rick-roll.
