Hi Eighters,
If you haven't heard already, a major vulnerability has been discovered in the WPA2 WiFi security protocol impacting, well, every single network that uses WiFi.
It's called the KRACK exploit and there's plenty of news online about it. Fortunately MS released a patch for it on October 12th:

Microsoft releases statement on KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability | Windows Central
But does anyone know the KB# of the patch that protects 8 or 8.1 OS against KRACK? I've searched my recent update list but cannot find one that says anything about WPA2, WiFi, or KRACK.
Thoughts?
Kindly,
NL
