A shared WPA2-Personal PSK is written on a public chalkboard in the city recreation center lobby. What is the correct technician assessment?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A PSK on the lobby chalkboard is a spare key under the doormat—still bad even if the lock says WPA2-Personal. Encryption with a public password is theater. Hide-SSID and WEP don't fix a leaked passphrase.
Full Explanation
Passphrase handling matters for Personal mode: publicly posting a PSK undermines confidentiality for every device that uses it. Technicians should protect and strengthen Personal passphrases rather than treating WPA2-Personal as safe when the key is exposed. Hiding the SSID or moving to WEP does not remediate a compromised shared key.
