A red county near me recently stopped a new datacenter build. The promoters would never say who would use it. They claimed NDA. The citizens there did not buy the story.
So, they are now floating the same in a different red county, that has less water supply, and less infrastructure.
Clearly they are speculating.

Security is hard.
The TL;DR is: Do not lose possesion of your private key.
https://ninjalab.io/eucleak/
The attack requires physical access to the secure element (few local electromagnetic side-channel acquisitions, i.e. few minutes, are enough) in order to extract the ECDSA secret key. In the case of the FIDO protocol, this allows to create a clone of the FIDO device.
All YubiKey 5 Series (with firmware version below 5.7) are impacted by the attack and in fact all Infineon security microcontrollers (including TPMs) that run the Infineon cryptographic library (as far as we know, any existing version) are vulnerable to the attack.

They do not need to be that complicated.
Basic Time-of-Day, Day-of-Week movement schedules is all that is required. If there are road sensors, then the periodic 'dummy cycle'.
The dummy cycle is for the dummies that do not understand why road sensors exist, and the driver either pulls up too far or not close enough to the line to get over the sensor. Then they wonder why they are not getting a green light.
I have seen people not figure this out because the signal controller was not programmed to do a dummy cycle. Needless to say, I passed them and ran a red light at an intersection with no traffic. They probably bought a vowel after I passed them.
