Does KRACK affect Continuum?

[Nguyen1]

I have a Windows 10 Mobile phone which I use with Continuum time to time. Since I use wifi for this, how is Continuum affected and does Microsoft plan to do anything about it, since the OS is in maintenance mode now? Thanks.

1. Continuum is just a different way to use your Windows 10 Mobile phone, so the question should be whether W10M is affected since it's the same underpinnings regardless of whether Continuum is being used.

2. As long as you're up-to-date, I have been led to believe Windows 10 and 10 Mobile are secure.

Maintenance mode as some people say it means it will get monthly security updates and bug fix updates. As xandros9 already said, as long as you have the latest update installed, you're fine. Microsoft already said they fixed the wifi bug in the latest update (in comparision to iOS and Android devices, which are still vulnerable).

Thanks! I have the latest update on my W10M phone, so I must be okay then. This is important to me as I actually use my phone mostly in Continuum mode and rarely as an actual mobile device!
