#wifi virus

Just to set things clear, the researchers didn’t intend to hack unknowing users when they developed Chameleon, but rather to merely demonstrate the vulnerability of a Wi-Fi network and how such virus can eventually infect other wireless devices. They did, however, state that the virus can go undetected by current security measures and, once it infiltrates the network, has the ability re-flash the device’s firmware and replace it with OpenWrt. After gaining access to a given network, the virus allows hackers to intercept sensitive data like financial information and passwords. Apart from keeping users from having a false sense of security, Marshall’s team is also hoping that their case study will also serve as a plea to router/AP manufacturers and antivirus companies to improve the security feature of their products. This method will make it a little more challenging for the virus to penetrate their network, which can eventually lead to more serious repercussions. Was fixing the built-in wifi device of the MSI Wind for several hours now to no avail. The problem is that the wifi just wouldn't detect any wireless connections even if you're already beside the router. I've already searched for related problems and read on forums that there's a sizable number of MSI Wind owners are having the similar problmes with the wifi.
