a surprisingly disappointing article from ars, i expect better from them.
the author appears to be confusing “relay attacks” with “cloning” and doesn’t really explain the flow of the attach that well.
really this just sounds like a complicated MitM attack, using the victim’s phone as the “middle” component between the victim’s physical card and the attacker’s rooted phone.
the whole “cloning the UID attack” at the end of the article is irrelevant, NFC payment cards don’t work like that.

open source software getting backdoored by nefarious committers is not an indictment on closed source software in any way. this was discovered by a microsoft employee due to its effect on cpu usage and its introduction of faults in valgrind, neither of which required the source to discover.
the only thing this proves is that you should never fully trust any external dependencies.
git bisect is just this guy jumping through portals to alternate universes where the bug either exists or doesn’t
yeah silly me for supporting artists with my money but also downloading drm-free copies of things so I can actually exercise a semblance of ownership. but sure, keelhaul me so you can keep your sense of smug superiority.
AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.
