For the latest WiFi vulnerabilities, almost all devices suffer, and it is true. The vulnerability, called "KRACK", is based on the WPA2 confidentiality agreement, which is widely used in wireless networks today.

Attackers read and even modify wireless communication protocols between networked devices and wireless access points to embed malware into websites, a vulnerability that cannot be avoided by macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Linux. It is no exaggeration to say that this WPA2 security vulnerability affects almost all devices that use WPA2 protocol. For device manufacturers, it is necessary to fix the vulnerability as soon as possible.

Many manufacturers have also chosen to follow up on this major loophole:

Apple released the latest beta versions of iOS, MacOS, WatchOS and TVOS earlier today to fix this vulnerability, while Microsoft today released a description of the vulnerability in the WPA2 wireless network encryption protocol, which will soon release a fix, and Windows users who update automatically should already be in a protected state.

In addition to Microsoft and Apple, Google also said that this vulnerability is being followed up, Chromebook, Android and so on will get new patches and updates. Netgear, D-Link, TP-Link, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Ecobee, NVIDIA, AMD, Lenovo, Dell, LG Electronics, Samsung and other manufacturers are also studying the vulnerability and launching updates in the near future.

If your device supports WiFi, this vulnerability can affect you, and attackers can easily steal users' credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, photos, e-mails and online communications without cracking Wi-Fi passwords. However, it is optimistic that the researchers have not released the code to exploit this vulnerability.
