Misconstruing/misrepresenting what the Flipper Zero can do is very in vogue right now.

The article doesn't misconstrue, but it also fails to mention that the attack can be done with any computer with a wifi chip. Not that surprising for a rag like Gizmodo.
Edit: they do mention that at the very end of the article
It kind of does in my view. The flipper has no WiFi. It’s just a dumb controller of some esp device. You could have the esp do it alone.
>The issue isn’t “hacking” in the sense of breaking into software, it’s a social engineering attack that fools a user into handing over their information.
Very much so.
Agreed. Just clickbait garbage.
