The attack, described as the first practical attack on WPA, will be discussed at the PacSec conference in Tokyo next week. There, researcher Erik Tews will show how he was able to crack WPA encryption ...

Security researchers say they’ve developed a way to partially crack the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption standard used to protect data on many wireless networks. The attack, described as the ...

It was only a matter of time. Sure, we can all expect that some hacker with enough time and processing power would eventually crack a WPA-protected wireless network to decrypt someone's precious data.

Wireless networks are easily hacked, and public networks are the least secure. I won’t take any chances; I’ll always encrypt my wireless connection. Assuming that you own the wireless base station you ...
