This past week many people were treated to a new wireless exploit. This latest vulnerability affects WiFi routers, so your secure WiFi connection, may not be so secure.
A little history; for many years setting up secured WiFi networks required some skill level. While this was fine for companies who provide computer and IT services such as ours, it did come at a cost to the end user. The manufacturers in all their infinite wisdom came up with a simple method for people with little or no skill level, to setup a secure WiFi system.
This past weekend, code was released on the Internet which breaks the security on many WiFi routers in 2 to 10 hours. Some of the wireless routers affected are from the following manufacturers: D-Link, Linksys, Netgear, Buffalo, TP-Link, and ZyXEL.
The code takes advantage of the 8 digit PIN used to verify the connection between computers when using a button to set them up. The manufacturers have yet to respond with a fix.
