Faille Wi-Fi : Microsoft a déjà patché Windows 10, 8.1 et 7

Les systèmes Windows ont déjà été modifiés par son éditeur lors de la précédente vague de mise à jour mensuelle distribuée en début de mois pour corriger la faille WPA2.

 

Plus tôt cette semaine les utilisateurs de réseaux Wi-Fi ont été alerté d'un problème dans la sécurisation de la plupart des appareils. Microsoft avait déjà anticipé le problème et a diffusé des correctifs il y a quelques jours.

 

La faille KRACK Attack concerne le protocole de sécurisation WPA2 largement utilisé pour connecter les appareils aux routeurs et points d'accès Wi-Fi. Tous les appareils capables de se connecter à un réseau sans fil sont donc potentiellement concernés : smartphones, tablettes, TV, objets connectés et bien entendu les ordinateurs qu'ils soient de bureau ou portables.

Here's what you need to know about KrackAttacks, and what you can do to protect yourself.

 

And there’s the silver lining.

We’ve actually been living with the risks created by insecure Wi-Fi connections for many years, and users can protect themselves by taking some basic security precautions. Here’s the best ways to stay safe from KrackAttacks and other threats targeting people through their Wi-Fi connections:

 

Use a VPN

A VPN (virtual private network), such as F-Secure Freedome encrypts your data while it’s in transit. This is a great way to secure your information when using Wi-Fi, and should be considered essential when using a publicly accessible Wi-Fi network.

 

Update your devices

Attacking routers is a means to an end for attackers. What they’re really after are your devices. They want to steal your credit card info, passwords, and other data. And that’s what the KrackAttacks are actually doing. Updating your devices’ software and operating systems is sound security advice, so use this as a reminder to make sure your desktops, laptops, phone, and tablets are all updated.

 

Update your routers

Routers have a long history of security problems. They’re often poorly supported by device vendors (and in some cases not at all). You should check your router’s settings to see if there’s a firmware update available, or possibly the website of your router’s manufacturer or vendor. If you’re not getting security updates for your router, consider getting one built to be secure.

HERE ARE FIVE OF THE BEST MOBILE VPN SERVICES.

F-Secure Freedome VPN: This is one of the few VPNs CSIRO mentioned with approval. Besides providing secure VPN, it also includes built-in third-party ads and trackers blocking functionality. F-Secure is available for both Android and iOS. It's unlimited data plan starts at $49.99 a year for up to three devices.

NordVPN: Besides being a great PC VPN, NordVPN does well for both Android and iOS devices. Unlike many Apple-approved VPNs, NordVPN supports OpenVPN services. This is a must if you're running your own OpenVPN servers. Its annual plan enables you to run six devices at a time for $69 a year.

KeepSolid VPN Unlimited: This program boasts it has no ads, no tracking, and no logs. Its client app works well on Android and iOS. VPN Unlimited lets you connect up to five devices at the same time for $39.99 a year. It also offers a lifetime plan for $449.99 (currently on sale for $149.99).

Private Internet Access: With thousands of VPN servers scattered across the globe, Private Internet Access offers Android and iOS users the widest choice of geographical locations of any VPN. This service costs $39.95 annually for up to five devices simultaneously.

TorGuard: Despite its name, TorGuard is not connected to the anonymous internet Tor Project. Instead, it refers to the fact that the Android and iOS apps support BitTorrent torrents. TorGuard, however, keeps no logs whatsoever. It also supports pretty much all VPN protocols. The program runs $59.99 per year for five clients.

Even if privacy isn't a top priority for you, I urge you to get a VPN for your smartphone or tablet. Unlike your home PC, you will be using public Wi-Fi access points from time to time -- whether it's at a restaurant, airport, or hotel. None of these are particularly trustworthy, and those that don't even require a password are wide-open for attackers. A mobile VPN isn't just a good idea, it's a necessity.

A bill that has now passed both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives would repeal a Federal Communications Commission rule issued last year that allows consumers to decide how internet service providers use their information.

 

“Your ISP can already monetize you based on your demographics,” Sean Sullivan, Security Advisor at F-Secure, tells me. “Still, they feel that they’re behind Facebook and Google’s ad technology — and arguably they are. But the difference is you can avoid Google and Facebook. You can’t avoid your ISP.”

 

There is still something that you can do that gives you more control over who has access to your browsing history.

“Your ISP is privy to all the web destinations you visit, unless you’re using a VPN,” Sean says. “Then they’re only privy to seeing that you went to, for instance, VPN.F-Secure.com.”

A VPN is a virtual private network and it puts all of your browsing data in the hands of one provider who encrypts it.

Le Wi-Fi n'a pas été conçu pour résister aux défis du XXIe siècle en matière de cyber sécurité. De nombreux experts recommandent donc la prudence lors de son utilisation.

 

Une bonne nouvelle, toutefois.

En réalité, les internautes ont déjà, depuis de nombreuses années, affaire aux dangers des connexions Wi-Fi non-sécurisées… Mais ils peuvent sécuriser leur réseau en prenant quelques précautions de base.  Voici les meilleures façons de se protéger de KrackAttacks ou d’autres menaces ciblant les internautes via leurs connexions Wi-Fi :

 

1. Utilisez un VPN

 

Un VPN (réseau privé virtuel), tel que FREEDOME de F-Secure, chiffre vos données en transit. Il s’agit d’une excellente façon de sécuriser vos informations lorsque vous utilisez le Wi-Fi. Cet outil est même indispensable à votre sécurité lorsque vous utilisez un réseau Wi-Fi public.

 

1. Mettez vos appareils à jour
