KRACK Attack Leaves WPA2 WiFi Encryption Hacked - Do this...

The video below explains Key Reinstallation Attacks (aka KRACK), for the technically curious. 

The short story is your communications privacy over WiFi is at risk. This includes your:

• emails, 
• texts,
• photos,
• log-in ID's and passwords, 
• credit card numbers, 
• and even your communications to websites which normally use https:// encryption. 

In short, anything you assume is encrypted is up for grabs.

Solutions

• Update your system software to the latest version. This includes all your devices which use WiFi.)
• Update software on WiFi appearance points (APs) which implement the standard 802.11r (a.k.a. Fast-BSS Transition). This affects business WiFi more than residential WiFi.
•  Upon connecting to a website make sure you see https:// and the locked symbol.

Risk Levels
Your risk of being a victim is highest whenever you use a public WiFi system. Risk is also high in densely populated areas.
