Abstract
The term wireless is a kind of technology which does not need any
connecting cable for sending and receiving data from sources. Wireless
networks are able to control and manage the communication gap between
transmitter and receiver and numbers of communities are utilizing this
approach for improving the presentation of their systems. The aim of this
study is to describe the wireless security issues and examine the impacts of
security intimidations in the last five years. It is identified that refuge is a
shared unruly related to the wireless networks due to which there are
numbers of security attacks and threats occurred. These attacks include
malware, denial of service and many more which are discussed in this
research report. Therefore, it is suggested that consumers should use only
authentic networks and maintain security while using wireless networks
and communications.

Introduction
Wireless technology is an advanced information technology which is now
used in the numbers of business industries for improving performance of
communication channels. The wireless network has the ability to control
and manage the performance of the communication in an effective manner
(Al Ameen, Liu, and Kwak, 2012). It is observed that wireless security is
defined as a process that is able to prevent the processor networks, plans
and communication networks from hackers. The objective of this research
report is to label the idea behind wireless communication and identify the
privacy-related matters linked with wireless networks. In the last five years,
the rate of cyber-attacks is increased by 45% because many companies use
wireless networks for communication purpose which are directly associated
with security threats. This report focuses on wireless security issues and
their impacts in the last five years and also evaluated the fundamental idea
behind wireless communication.
Wireless security issues
Wireless network is a computer skill that provides a platform for performing
the communication between two or more computer networks. The main
feature of the wireless communication is that it does not require any
connecting wires to connect the transmitter and receiver which can
increase overall reliability and flexibility of the communication system. A
recent study identified that in last five years the wireless technology
changed the way of communication that helped the businesses for
increasing the presentation of their message channels and reduce barriers
occurred in the communication process (Burg, Chattopadhyay, and Lam,
2017).
According to Gilbert, Kaliaperumal, and Rajsingh, (2012) security of data is
one of the biggest problems that faced by companies while using the
