This indicates that the AP has determined that a STA has failed a MIC check during the
EAPOL authentication exchange. If the authentication type is WPA PSK and the failure
happened during the pairwise key exchange, this is most likely due to a misconfiguration of the
WPA pre-shared key on the station. Otherwise, it might mean that an attacker’s station is
attempting to masquerade as a legal station.
