128 (104) bit WEP cracked in a minute.
Researchers with the Technical University Darmstadt have released a whitepaper on a WEP Crack they managed in a mere minute.
I've read this paper and though my crypto skills aren't as good as they should be, I'd be surprised if the Aircrack-NG guys don't implement this code very soon, the Darstadt researchers make it look trivial.
If you're still using WEP and value it for your privacy, please consider switching to WPA.
If you're just using WEP to keep your neighbors focused on other networks, you're probably still safe for awhile.
UPDATE:
The code for this attack has been released by Erik Tews, Andrei Pychkine and Ralf-Philipp Weinmann, the researchers from Darmstadt. This code is available to anyone for free.
