Related side note- Could I get some clarification (from anyone reading who may know) on the vulnerable hardware? The trouble, if I remember/understand correctly, wasn't that our code eats RFID chips, but it was the particular Atmel chip (AT24RF08?) which had a broken state machine which interprets I2C commands incorrectly under certain circumstances. Are newer Atmel chips safe? Are other RFID chips safe? At one point, we thought that only a handful of older Thinkpads used the defunct vulnerable Atmel chip, and that any others using other chips were safe. Just curious where our current understanding is at these days on this sensitive topic.
