Also left out of the headline is the fact that this attack was specifically designed to be leveraged against one specific common laptop, a MacBook. Admittedly, if you are using one it can be a concern, but it’s safe to assume that unless your attacker knows the exact model of computer you are using and dedicates serious resources in to building a targeted attack like this, you’re fine.

The tiniest variation will likely dramatically improve your security.

As a cybersecurity researcher, there are plenty of other attacks that are cheaper and easier to implement that you should be concerned about.
