Hey infosec peeps, anyone got an inside scoop on what's going on with these bogus co-authored commit tags on GitHub? The attackerDOS/B repo has been taken down, so I can't look at the commits that I supposedly co-authored. I have FIDO2 MFA on my account, so I'm reasonably certain that no one could have actually committed code to this repo under my account, but I'm also not super familiar with how co-authoring works.

Wir haben im Rahmen des Projektes "Codeanalyse von Open Source Software" (CAOS 3.0) die Passwort-Manager Keepass und Vaultwarden auf ihre Sicherheitseigenschaften überprüft. Dabei wurden bei Vaultwarden zwei Sicherheitslücken mit der Einstufung "hoch" identifiziert. Die Entwickler wurden über kritische Sicherheitslücken informiert, sie haben die Probleme bereits analysiert und reagiert.

My current hardware MFA key is no longer receiving security patches, so I'm in the market for a new one.

Here's a list of features I'd like my new hardware MFA key to have, in order of priority:

1. USB-A
2. NFC
3. USB-C
4. Biometric
5. Bluetooth

My current MFA key has features 1-3 and 5. Is there a Holy Grail MFA key somewhere out there with all 5 features?

I'm already pretty familiar with YubiCo's product lineup, and while I love their security rating and build quality, none of them have more than 2 of the features listed above, so that kinda bums me out.

Anyway, let's hear your hardware MFA key recommendations!
