loving devastating.

Also I'd like to point out that this is a client side issue; any device running android 6.0 or later for example is completely vulnerable to having any and all of their packets captured through any wifi connection. The only way this is going to be fixed is if manufacturers push out updates to all their devices to patch this severe flaw.

However if you're running a VPN that encrypts web traffic, are on ethernet, or are on an HTTPS secured website, you're safe.

this is an event where android's fragmentation becomes a problem - there are so many android devices out there running all kinds of versions, and many of them will take a long time to get updates / (even more common) have stopped getting updates due to dropped manufacturer support. it's a pretty big issue.

I'm actually wanting to root my phone and install a custom rom on it for this exact reason, but I'm scared of bricking my phone lmao

not on public wifi, at home you're probably ok since i doubt people are just gonna drive around sniffing wifi networks for passwords n stuff
