That's a great incentive to fix such (bluetooth) vulnerabilities! Surely your message was because you're in favor for fixing such bugs urgently I hope?

Such an odd question.


I clarified a bit in a sibling comment but this was in response to folks who respond by wanting the flipper banned. I think I just misread the author's tone.


I think that's the only reasonable interpretation of their comment, that this is a serious problem that needs to be fixed.


I hope so, but to me it sounded like they preferred security through obscurity. I admit my comment was quite tongue in cheek, mainly because I've seen a lot of people react to the flipper's existence by saying that the device shouldn't exist, instead of that vulnerabilities should be fixed. The comment sounded to me more like the "flippers should be banned" type, but that's my perception of the comment.
