Global Secure Systems has said that a Russian's firm's use of the latest NVidia graphics cards to accelerate WiFi ‘password recovery' times by up to an astonishing 10,000 per cent proves that WiFi's WPA and WPA2 encryption systems are no longer enough to protect wireless data.

And to think about the days when people would have to wait days to capture "interesting packets" from WEP connections.

GPGPU powuh!

That article is so vague I'm not sure its legit. They don't say how many video cards they used. How long the decryption took. The length of of the password that was cracked. Nothing about the cipher that was used. Seems like a bunch of FUD.
