Its a MITM. Packets are being changed on the fly. It being a MITM doesn't mean it works. Nor that it works world-wide in 2019. The term MITM isn't descriptive enough by itself.

Perhaps this worked in Bulgaria in 2016? I'd like to see some proof that he got HBO to work though. I didn't see that clearly specified.

I mean, for public transport they were still using (the insecure) Mifare Classic in 2016 in Bulgaria. See this post from the same blog [1]

I'd bet 10$ that it still works, given that it works in Serbia on Orion :)
