let's compare the rubber ducky compromise device to modern widespread firmware crime the rubbery ducky device is: - publicly discussed - publicly analyzable - used for security research like teaching a kid to play with fire safely the modern era of widespread firmware crime is - denied via coercive silence and corruption - covered over, scapegoated, etc when analyzed - used for human trafficking, criminal takeovers of governments, and surveillance by crimelords, like burning down a city of people who have never seen fire
