A shared parks-and-recreation staff PSK for a WPA2-Personal SSID appears on a public paste site. Beyond immediate key rotation, which risk statement is most accurate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A shared Wi-Fi password on the Internet is a spare building key taped to the front door. Anyone can walk onto the staff WLAN, and captured handshakes get easier to abuse. Rotating the key is mandatory; pretending Personal mode is immune is fantasy.
Full Explanation
Credential exposure for WPA2/WPA3-Personal shared PSKs grants unauthorized association to anyone who learns the passphrase and increases the practicality of offline attacks when handshake material is also available. Personal mode has no per-user secret in the classic shared-PSK design, so leaks are high impact. Rotation, stronger secrets, or moving sensitive staff access to Enterprise authentication are typical responses.
