WPA2 password is still hackable

I recently came across this FB Ad Sponsor link that tells us that the Wi-Fi is hackable. It means, even if you have the said WPA2 password, it is still hackable. This happens within the Wi-Fi router mechanism. Of course, we would assume that the responsible parties such as the router companies should take action. But little do we realise that the fact, not lies in companies making the routers, but also we as consumers need to of a helping hand as well.

First step is to update as regularly as possible whenever there is a firmware update of our routers. Never any harm to change passwords of your Wi-Fi. But we forget that our smart devices as well also need to be protected. Our Smartphones, Tablets, computers, laptops also need protection with Anti-virus and Internet Security. Our OS needs regular updates as well.

Some would assume that its not necessary. Who would want to hack into my devices. I am not important at all. Hackers should be hacking big companies, that's where the money are! But hackers have no eyes. Even if they have, they have a bigger picture where we never thought of. Imagine hundred thousands of people with the same mindset - we're not important enough to be hacked. An accumulation of a hundred thousand makes up a lot of people and with each different sets of data can sell thousands to a million.

I'm sorry if I kinda out of topic. But its all related. So, just want to share the concern. And let's make it a better place to surf the internet.
