Hello,
In light of the recent WPA2 krack attack vulnerability, I'd like to know if my liftmaster myq wifi garage door opener (8550w) is vulnerable and, if so, when can I expect a firmware update?
Thanks,
Dan.

I came here looking to see if I need to just disable the internet features of my Elite Series 8550W or if there will be an update. While you guys address KRACK you guys should also look into the malformed mdns packet myq sends out as well (as it makes other devices on my network unhappy until I vlan'ed it off).

Jon, thanks for your feedback. Lauren

MyQ Community members, Based on our current analysis, the MyQ system is not vulnerable to a Krack attack because we use end-to-end encryption. There is currently no need for a firmware update. Let me know if you have more questions. Lauren

Thanks for the quick response!
Just to make sure I understand you answer... my device "is" affected - i.e. someone could use this to insert themselves and see the traffic. However, as you use a separate end-to-end encryption, they won't be able to do anything to my garage door opener. Right?
You might want to reach out to publications like 'wired' here that specifically use garage doors as example of IoT devices that may be affected.
Thanks again!
Dan.
P.s. no affiliation to wired or anything, just a worried customer! -

Hi Dan - You're correct: our end-to-end encryption protects MyQ users data. We will continue to work monitor the situation and determine if any further preemptive steps need to be taken.
We also saw Wired's article, thanks for this suggestion.
