A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The security wasn’t patched. Any firmware update can be modified since the keys are provided with the update. So while the patch may have been applied, it’s not permanent.
I feel like the article could have done a slightly better job of pointing this out to the layperson. But yeah, it is trivially easy to get the key off the manufacturer's own website. Easy enough for a high school teen to do it in my opinion.
