Wi-Fi password - “one second” hack allows attackers into many routers

A push-button function on many wireless routers designed to bypass the Wi-Fi password and provide quick access to the network could allow attackers to break in in just “one second”, reports have claimed. The Wi-Fi password flaw was found by Swiss security firm Oxcite, and allows hackers to bypass the security of Wi-Fi Protected Setup almost instantly, according to Engadget’s report. Rather than making thousands of guesses at the PIN code, the attackers make one guess, based on offline calculations. “It takes one second,” Dominique Brongard of Oxcite said. “It’s nothing. Bang. Done.”
