    Is the 2016 Apex vulnerable to KRACK Wi-Fi attack?

    Just read a bunch of articles on this vulnerability. Is the new apex susceptible?

    I dont recall seeing anything regarding that in the patch notes, but regardless of wether or not it has been patched, make darn sure your router has been patched. That will at least minimize your chances of being kracked to next to nill. If I interpreted the issue correctly, I believe a WPA2 with AES that has been patched at the router requires the attacker to clone your router and it's MAC to gain access to non-patched devices on your network, which is not easy to do without access to your router.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.
