Apple FINALLY Fixes KRACK Vulnerability

November 1, 2017

I previously posted about a vulnerability discovered in WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption called KRACK. Many companies were quick to announce fixes in the works, with Microsoft and Cisco patches available within hours. Apple doesn't typically respond as quickly as others and was true to form once again. While fixes have been available from other manufacturers for a couple of weeks, Apple finally released its patch for the KRACK attack. Several security fixes as well as one for the KRACK vulnerability were released in the macOS 10.13.1 and iOS 11.1 operating systems. If you are an Apple user, make sure you apply the patch as soon as possible.
