Major vulnerabilities found in new Wi-Fi standard

The Next Russian Attack Will Be Far Worse than Bots and Trolls""

By Sead Fadilpašic 2 days ago Security

Hackers could exploit networks to get user passwords.



The latest WPA3 WiFi security and authentication standard may be suffering from serious safety flaws of its own.

This is according to a group of researchers - Mathy Vanhoef and Eyal Ronen, who issued a report called “Dragonblood – A Security Analysis of WPA3’s SAE Handshake”, which identifies design flaws in the WPA3 standard's Dragonfly key exchange, hence the Dragonblood name.

They disclosed a total of five vulnerabilities, four of which could be used to recover user passwords, while the fifth one could be used to ‘only’ crash WPA3-compatible access points.

The details about the vulnerabilities, how they operate and how they attack the network can be found on this link.
