"Achilleas Tsitroulis of Brunel University, UK, Dimitris Lampoudis of the 
University of Macedonia, Greece and Emmanuel Tsekleves of Lancaster 
University, UK, have investigated the vulnerabilities in WPA2 and present 
its weakness. They say that this wireless security system might now be 
breached with relative ease by a malicious attack on a network. They 
suggest that it is now a matter of urgency that security experts and 
programmers work together to remove the vulnerabilities in WPA2 in order 
to bolster its security or to develop alternative protocols to keep our 
wireless networks safe from hackers and malware."

I hope they're wrong.
