A more readable version is on:

Wi-fi security flaw 'puts devices at risk of hacks'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-41635516

Looks like a game of handshake replay to weaken or zero the WiFi session
key.


But then also, who has 'trusted' WiFi or networks against malicious
eavesdropping? Especially so for the likes of various ISPs and other
service providers snooping for monetary gain?...


One to discuss this Thursday!

Cheers,
Martin
