They manage to hack the WPA2 protocol, which encrypts networks and protects wireless connections, but to access this network, you have to be within WiFi range.

The protection of WiFi networks is currently protected by the WiFi Protected Access 2 protocol, which offers high security. This high security encryption protocol had the vitola of being an impossible system to hack, but that is no longer true, because they have managed to hack this protocol. To achieve this, advanced KRACK-type hacker techniques have been used, which has made it possible to hack a WiFi network that had the WPA2 protocol. Logically, this is not a good figure, but you should not panic at this time.

Those who have achieved this unprecedented achievement have detected different WPA2 vulnerabilities and will give more information about it today, so in the next few days or weeks, there could be improvements in this protocol. Until now, it had not been possible to break through a Key Reinstallation Attack, but despite everything, we should not feel insecure, since although breaking this impenetrable security protocol, we already know that there is no protocol that cannot be violated with time, patience and different attempts.

We must bear in mind that to hack a WiFi, you have to be within the WiFi coverage range and the closer we are to this network, the better. There is no possibility to bypass security remotely. WPA2, we must say, is the protocol that replaces the lower security WEP protocol. The breach of security is significant, but we must not lose our minds, since the tools used to bypass this type of security are complex to use and are not for all audiences, in addition, a good password helps a lot to safeguard our network.

Hacking the WPA2 protocol through KRACK does not currently expose WiFi networks, it only means that vulnerabilities have been found and in future updates, we will see how this protocol is improved and security is strengthened.
