Every encryption have vulnerabilities and now WPA2 (WiFi Protecting Access 2) algorithm has vulnerabilities

Again hackers have made a good job and broke secrecy of the WPA2 (WiFi Protecting Access 2) algorithm. What made this good work, is that they published that data so all Internet community can begin to create new kind of secrecy, or prepare themselves that their private data can be stolen from their secured WEB-drives.  That action shows that we must keep going with creating new methods of encrypting data and keep our privacy so strong, that nobody sees our private data what is sent over the net. But as you might know, real-life hacking is more difficult than something that happens in media. Almost every kind of encryption has weakened, and one thing what creates much more vulnerabilities is human. If a person uses too difficult passwords he or she might need to write it down or in worst case use a text file, where that person copy-pastes those marks to password line.


And what makes that thing vulnerable for the system, is that somebody might take the only photograph from the screen, when that person opens his or her text file. And the question is did he or she remember to shut down the big screen if that person is giving training lessons to some audience. In that case, could the hacker get password very easily, only thing what that person need is taken photograph in the right moment, and after that hacker could slip in the system. Worst hacker-style is social hacking. The simplest way is just to find a boss of that target company and pump that person full of sodium-Amytal when those attackers are only asked for the password from that man or woman.


In that method hackers just get one director's phone in their hands, and simply ask people passwords from the telephone, and if people won't warned about that kind of hacking, could hackers steal very much information from their target system. Sometimes users of the system ask micro support to install some programs on their workstations, and that could cause terrible situation if a hacker is a member of the micro support team. That could cause information leak where hacker simply copies hard disks information to their USB-memories, and that could be very harmful to business secrets.


In those scenarios, hackers slip a man inside the system. There they can steal information for years if somebody wouldn't see what that person does. But when we are talking about cracking algorithms with the mathematical method, we must remember that modern computers speed and power have been grown from days when that WPA2 algorithm have been created. That makes that security vulnerable for modern computers when they use "brute force" attack against the system.
