   My read because I’ve been asked many times and need to sleep

   The caveats and needs for further research the team notes are very honest. It’s hard to really calculate risk here because most vectors are physical and impact will vary by device and manufacturers.

     The problem is the scale of the attack surface and the many possible niche physical attacks impacting smart devices. Imagine the potential for a master key for Bluetooth access devices of a certain model, etc. it’s just a large surface to consider that takes threat model into account.
