This is a story of how ZDNet got blocked from my new list.

Absolute bullshit. The term "click bait" doesn't cover it. It's total bullshit. ZDNet knows it's bullshit but decided making people anxious about their passkeys was no big deal and ran with it anyway.

This is not acceptable. It takes significant cognitive load to filter information, even on a good day. Throwing these "you must act" headlines into the mix is grossly abusive. ZDNet is dead to me now.

#ZDnet #Passkeys

bullshit headline on the news feed from ZDNet... "your passkeys could be vulnerable to attack, and everyone - including you - must act"
casually tucked away at the very bottom of the list... "neither the passkeys nor the protocol was proven to be vulnerable"
"neither the passkeys nor the protocol was proven to be vulnerable"
Turns out the entire premise here was a USER being tricked into authenticating something. FFS.
