A billion-plus computers, phones, and other devices are said to suffer a chip-level security vulnerability that can be exploited by nearby miscreants to snoop on victims’ encrypted Wi-Fi traffic.

The flaw was branded KrØØk by the bods at Euro infosec outfit ESET who discovered it. An eavesdropper doesn’t have to be logged into the target device’s wireless network to exploit KrØØk. If successful, the miscreant can take repeated snapshots of the device’s wireless traffic as if it were on an open and insecure Wi-Fi. These snapshots may contain things like URLs of requested websites, personal information in transit, and so on.
