'The KRACK attack is against devices using the Wi-Fi protocol.

Since Philips Hue does not itself support Wi-Fi directly, it does not need to be patched because of this attack. Further, all our cloud account APIs are protected using HTTPS which offers an additional layer of security which isn't affected by this attack.'
