Home and business Wi-Fi networks are vulnerable to hackers, according to computer security researchers. The main protocol that protects Wi-Fi networks is WPA2 which is vulnerable to hackers. Mathy Vanhoef, the researcher who discovered the protocol vulnerability, said on his website that any device that uses Wi-Fi is probably vulnerable. That means a router, a phone, a laptop; a smart TV or even a Wi-Fi enabled refrigerator that uses WPA2 protocol could be susceptible.

In order to protect information users should protect their networks by applying security updates. Websites protected by https and encrypted email features can offer additional protection. Sharing password-less files should be limited and consulting professionals to maintain network services will take security to the best possible level.
