Researcher Mathy Vanhoef has revealed a major flaw in the protocol , which he’s calling KRACK—for K ey R einstallation A tta ck s. This weak link in WPA2 not only allows “man-in-the-middle” eavesdropping attacks, it also opens up wi-fi networks for ransomware and other malicious code injections.

Thanks for the link.

My router is TL-WR841N V9. So, while not panicking, I'm uneasy.

TL-WR841Nv13 with firmware version 0.9.1 4.16 v0348.0 Build 170814 Rel.59214n or earlier (Hardware Version 12.0 or earlier not affected)
your router is V9, not affected, don't worry

I trie to upgrade the firmware for my TL-WR841N router tot the latest version, but the provided software seems to be for PC only, not for iMac?! The provided update is a .bin file which cannot be unpacked for Apple....
The TP-Link support is not responding, not by email, nor by telephone....
Someone, please?
