Think Glen is referring to the new wifi hack called KRACK. They can get into your wifi while a device is negotiating authentication and then sniff all the traffic. It is not the middle man scenario, it is pure hacking into the WPA encryption connect negotiations.

So far the only real protection I've heard is to access the internet thru a paid VPN so they can't sniff the VPN encrypted WLAN to intenet traffic. Basically all your home LAN traffic is encrypted to a VPN server then it goes out to the net from there. If you set the same VPN up on your phone it would do the same thing no matter who your phone service is with. All the phone's data traffic would go thru the VPN wifi or cell.

Been thinking about doing a VPN because the VPN services let you pick where you are from. So on F1 weekends I can be from England and watch F2 on Skysports Live. It also keeps your service provider or anybody else from being able to tell what your are doing on the net, ie privacy. The thing that has stopped me before now is I will have to get a new router because my Apple don't do VPN.

For KRACK they also say to keep your wifi router/devices updated (but is recommended hoping they patch the hack)
