Apple has already patched against the KRACK hack in iOS, tvOS, watchOS,
and macOS. iMore publisher Rene Ritchie tweeted that Apple confirmed all
four OSes have been patched against the threat. In a separate piece, the
site noted that Apple’s AirPort base stations have also been patched
against KRACK. The flaw, called Key Reinstallation attack (KRACK) takes
advantage of a flaw in the WPA2 standard that lets an attacker decrypt
the data flowing through the wireless network. As noted in TMO’s Daily
Observations on Monday, Aruba and Ubiquiti enterprise servers have also
been patched. TMO‘s Dave Hamilton explained in that episode how router
makers are very motivated to get this issue patched, and that firmware
updates are in the works at most major manufacturers.
