WEP is known to be vulnerable. WPA has some weaknesses in some
circumstances. WPA2 however is thought to be secure if you use a
hard-to-guess password.

A quick look at Wikipedia could have told you this.

Just for completeness, I visited some of the referenced URLS:

Tells you how to improve signal strength. Nothing on WEP, WPA or WPA2.

No longer available. Maybe the Men In Black removed it ...

Stupid Wifi detection program for WinXP. Again, no mention of WEP, WPA
or WPA2.

No explanation, but appears to be standard password-guessing attack.

ABC News report on cellphone hacking. Unrelated to Wifi.

Random URLs of general sniffing and security pages.

In conclusion, the assertion that there are genuine WPA2 vulnerabilities
(other than guessing passwords) remains unsupported.
