What is Ruckus doing to mitigate the potential infection of APs with the Chameleon Wi-Fi access point virus? See this link for details on the virus: http://tinyurl.com/kg3h9wr

For the truly paranoid, I've validated the link above is legit ;)

I've asked our security team to help address the concern. Stay tuned.

Our security folks say "nothing new" - the exploit requires weak infrastructure security which no production network should allow. Normal best-practice security hygiene protects against it.

My concern is a have a lot of Customers in the hospitality business that run unencrypted Wi-Fi for ease of use of guests. Does Chameleon put these Customers at risk?

The exploit relies on well known default passwords, so good password practices on the controller take care of that.
