    Are the Xbox consoles still vulnerable to KRACK (WPA) vulnerabilities?


    I understand Microsoft patched these vulnerabilities for the PC operating systems in October but I cannot confirm these patches ever made it to the Xbox OS. ({{windowTitle}}).

    Can someone confirm they did? Any official information you can provide would be great.

    :)

    XBox Vulnerable to KRACK WPA2 Vulnerability?

    I haven't seen an official response from Microsoft regarding whether the XBox is vulnerable tot he KRACK WPA vulnerability that was disclosed back in October 2017: Serious
    flaw in WPA2 protocol lets attackers intercept passwords and much more

    Confirmation that this flaw has been patched and deployed to XBox owners would be most appreciated

    Wireless connection on xbox one kicking me out of games and party chat!

    Do not use WEP even if the web page tells you to.

    It is not secure and will leave you vulnerable to hacking

    From what you have said it sounds like you need to select WPA Auto

    Other than that can you post a link to the web page with the instructions you are following?

    Are the Xbox consoles still vulnerable to KRACK (WPA) vulnerabilities?

    I couldn't find where MS said "We patched KRACK on the Xbox on this day". They did say they patched Windows enabled devices on Oct 10th, and anything with automatic updates should receive. As the Xbox is a Windows device, I'd assume it's patched. Also, this
    vulnerability was really targeted at Linux and Android. IOS and Windows were pretty safe.

    If you were in a game forum, and someone posted something you need to report, you need only click on the little O with a line through it symbol under the post. That is the report button.
