With a significant fraction of Internet traffic (and all eCommerce traffic) end-to-end encrypted, is it really realistic that they would have sensitive data (usernames, passwords, real names, addresses, credit card information, etc.) in memory of an AP? This is the point of Let's Encrypt, after all, to close the exposure that we give to our ISPs and our ISPs ISPs.
- m4rtink 7y agoAFAIK ubiquity also does routers, those can hold quite some sensitive data in memory.
- noja 7y agoDon't think sensitive data, think personal data. An IP is personal data.
- zeeZ 7y agoMacs tend to use your name as their network name from what I've seen, and corporate logins usually are some variation of your first and last names. The APs absolutely know those.
- 8fingerlouie 7y agoBut APs are not limited to internet traffic. Maybe some company somewhere runs an internal server, and because it's internal they might think that encryption is not needed. Hell, it might even use GET arguments for username/passwords in the URL. The crash dumps would contain these data as well.
