Impressive technical feat, even if not completely new.

However, as tech people we need to stop downplaying our accomplishments. “43 seconds” (plus the lifetime of learning that allowed them to figure out how to do all these things: decoding the wire signals, writing a custom firmware, knowing how to probe the motherboard for the correct signals, etc.)

43 seconds is the time taken to deploy the exploit, not to develop it. the short time window communicates the severity of the exploit.
