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.
