"The YubiKey 5, the most widely used hardware token for two-factor authentication based on the FIDO standard, contains a cryptographic flaw that makes the finger-size device vulnerable to cloning when an attacker gains brief physical access to it, researchers said Tuesday."

well duh, that's the whole point of it?

i think the fingerprint enabled devices have a countermeasure that they require a fingerprint match to work but that can also be spoofed much the same as an electrical fucking contact

TL;DR: keep your yubikey on you at all times ffs

the more concerning part is that this applies to other infineon chips like smart cards

they also share the same crypto libs, but those use symmetric crypto usually
