The vulnerability in WPA2 means hackers can access "credit card numbers, passwords, chat messages, emails, photos" or anything else transmitted over Wi-Fi, according to Dr Mathy Vanhoef.
Dr Vanhoef, a researcher at KU Leuven, published the details of what he branded the KRACK (key reinstallation attack) on Monday.
Experts claim it poses a huge risk to businesses - and warn the issue may never be completely fixed for old phones and routers
Sorry but isn't this only information not sent via HTTPS etc. over Wi-FiQuote:

How often do you look to check if the padlock is there ??? I know I often forget to check.

However lets say consider a typical office with LAN+WLAN all on the same broadcast domain and VLAN. Even if all devices intended to be connected are hardwired, someone can still connect to the LAN via WLAN, then start exploiting weak devices and hopefully find the admin credentials on a weak device are the same on many other devices.
Yeah hardwired PC's wont help if they get on your network and hack your firewall etc ;-)
Hardwired (as mine is) just means they cant use you to initiate the attack, but you say above once your network is compromised you are fair game too.
If every device is hardwired you would be safe but that is never gonna happen. Never heard of a lan cable for a mobile ;-)
These scripts and tools (which are being bundled in the latest Kali build afaik) make it too easy for pretty much anyone with very little knowledge to use.
Roll on WiLi or whatever its latest name is ;-)
