Wi-Fi encryption can be hacked and anyone can spy on your internet activity

Equifax and Yahoo disclosed major security breaches recently, which are quite scary, especially the former. But security researchers are about to unveil to explain how hackers could hack any existing Wi-Fi connection and spy on all of your data.

The encrypted WPA2 protocol was just breached, putting at risk everyone who uses wireless internet at home or abroad. You can't fix the issue yourself, but while you wait for network equipment makers to patch access points, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself. Yes, the issue is serious, but as long as a hacker isn't specifically looking to spy on your data, you should not worry about it.
