    This requires physical access. I don’t get it, why is this bad?

    Someone with physical access can already pull out the disk, clone it, and put in a different disk that boots to an identical looking login, but which actually relays the password back to the attacker.

    What more would this exploit allow an attcker with phsycal access that they wouldn’t already have before this exploit?

    Seems like exactly the kind of exploit that could be used in a jailbreak process. Curious to see what else gets done with it

      What the hell are you talking about? I’ve checked OP’s post history and everything has proper titles. Checked your comment history and the last post they made that you brought this up on likewise has an accurate title, and I’m not seeing any evidence that it was edited after posting.

      Most of all, why waste time complaining about it? Just block and move on with your life.

          I’ve legitimately never seen this user post with that as the title, and I’m not seeing evidence they changed it.

          Take screenshots next time or block them, because you look like a nutter.
