Gosh, if it is so easy how does anything stay secure? Maybe it isn't quite as easy as it is purported to be. You'd think there would be security breaches every day in every sector, but it doesn't seem to be happening.
Oh, oh, don't tell me: it's a coverup.
Not exactly a cover-up, but more "security through obscurity" - the fact WPA/WPA2 is broken is just not widely advertised.
obscurity continues - even though breaking WPA/WPA2 is trival, not many folks know how to do it, or don't have reason to do it. Just because I can doesn't mean I do, especially when camping - my computer stays off most of the time... I'm camping to take a break from technology, not work on exploiting it.
Most corporate deployments use WPA to keep casual users off the network, but also use smart cards or crypto certificates for additional authentication. you connect to outside wlan with wpa, and then connect to the inside vlan with x509 or some other certificate exchange.
