While I appreciate your refusal to spread panic, would you mind explaining what the attack does and why it's a nothingburger, maybe even why it's not practical? Because right now, you assert a lot of things without any explanation.

Not saying you're wrong, but I think it's good practice to not just rely on claims of authority
