Is the technical details of the "Krack" attack that can be used against all WiFi using WPA2. (The most current encryption.)

It affects everyone and there is nothing you can do before firmware updates come out. (We know how THAT can be.) Be sure to use your VPN and/or make sure you get the lock and the "HTTPS:" in the browser bar before sending any sensitive information. (Like passwords.)
The only saving grace is that it requires one be close to the network as it is in the fundamental protocols of WiFi itself.
