Wi-Fi virus that spreads like common cold


Researchers have shown for the first time that Wi-Fi networks can be infected with an ‘air-borne’ virus that can move as efficiently as the common cold.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool in UK designed and simulated an attack by a virus, called “Chameleon” on Belfast and London in a lab setting. The found that not only could it spread quickly between Homes and businesses, but it was able to avoid detection.

Experts found that “Chameleon” behaved like an ‘airborne’ virus, travelling across the Wi-Fi network via access points (APs) that connects households and businesses to Wi-Fi network. When “Chameleon” attacked an AP it was able to collect and report the credentials of all other Wi-Fi users who connect to it. The virus then sought out other Wi-Fi APs that it could connect to and infect.
