Lifehacker has posted steps you can take to prevent your wireless content from being compromised. In its posting that was titled How To Protect Your WI-FI Network From the WAP Hack, an exploit in the WPA standard that would allow a hacker to “send bogus data to an unsuspecting WiFi client,” completely compromising your Wi-Fi security and opening your network to all sorts of hacking.
It just amazes the speed in which so called safe encryption can be cracked, it’s like a game, someone comes up with it, someone cracks it. Anyway if you are worried about someone getting into you private network, read Lifehackers post!
