Just buy a new key every month.
A small price to pay for security.
Get wholesale disxounts for your paranoia!

  I’ll reiterate what many others have said about the yubikey story - unless you’re the target of super sophisticated actors who do not want you to know they’ve stolen your yubikey*, this is a bit of a non-event and highlights the importance of keeping track of your yubikeys. Please don’t toss them, but do keep an eye out for further developments. Once an issue like this is identified, it attracts a lot of attention from many smart people and there may will be other findings in the future, but for now, yubikeys are good enough for most of us. * I know there are a bunch of people convinced you’re being pursued by these advanced adversaries. I worry about you. For many reasons.

  @gabriel I haven't seen anybody saying to throw out your yubikey but I have seen a dozen or more people convinced everyone is telling you to raw dog it instead

  There are some people who treat every security issue as if a malicious backdoor was discovered.
  I think part of the problem is if you get people to understand how bad things can be, they want to do all they can to feel "safe" again.
  Setting reasonable expectations is counter effective to fear driven marketing.
