Security Flaws in WPA3 Protocol Let Attackers Hack WiFi Password

Researchers have unveiled several serious vulnerabilities in the Wi-Fi security protocol that could allow attackers to recover the password of the network. WPA3 is a standard designed to authenticate wireless devices using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protocol and is intended to prevent hackers from eavesdropping on your wireless data. The WiFi Alliance says the software updates do not require any changes that affect interoperability between devices. The vulnerabilities also affect side-channel leaks and downgrade attacks, which can be launched by overloading an AP by initiating a large amount of handshakes.
