Attack"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone,<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Oct. 16, 2017, a new wireless vulnerability made the major news cycle.\u00a0 Dubbed KRACK, it exploits a vulnerability that most major wireless manufacturers have in their configurations that may allow them to view or intercept your network activity.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Chapman University\u2019s network is currently protected against this specific attack.\u00a0\u00a0 And although it\u2019s likely that other networks are currently vulnerable (such as your home router), it\u2019s still very unlikely that an attacker would be able to intercept your internet transmissions.\u00a0 First, they\u2019d have to be within physical range of you and the wireless gateway.\u00a0\u00a0 Second, the data you are sending would need to be not additionally encrypted by the website itself.\u00a0\u00a0 Many websites, such as banks, and even Google and Facebook, routinely encrypt all data by default.<\/p>\n<p>Please be on the lookout for upcoming security patches from all the major manufacturers.\u00a0 In particular, Android devices may be more vulnerable than iOS, so expect to see patches soon.\u00a0 Keeping your mobile phones and laptops updated with the latest updates will help ensure that they remain protected and reliable.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please see the related articles below:<\/p>\n<p
