A group temporal key is used to secure all multicast and broadcast traffic.\n\nVdoo said there are no known attacks underway exploiting the vulnerabilities, adding firmware versions released after Jan. 11, 2021 include mitigations that resolve the issue. The company also recommends using a \"strong, private WPA2 passphrase\" to prevent exploitation of the above issues in scenarios where the device's firmware can't be updated.\n\n \n\n\nFound this article interesting?
