Ok, here's the deal on the "YubiKey cloning attack" stuff:

:eyes_opposite: yes, a way to recover private keys from #YubiKey 5 has been found by researchers.

But the attack *requires*:

👉 *physically opening the YubiKey enclosure*

👉 *physical access* to the YubiKey *while it is authenticating*

👉 non-trivial electronics lab equipment

I cannot stress this enough:

❗In basically every possible scenario you are safer using a YubiKey or a similar device, than not using one.
