I don't agree that the exuberance over the brilliance of this attack is warranted if you give this a moment's thought. The web has been fighting lookalike attacks for decades. This is just a more dynamic version of the same.

To be honest, this whole post has the ring of AI writing, not careful analysis.

It has been what, hours? since the discovery? Are you expecting them to spend time analysing it instead of announcing it?

Also, nearly everyone has AI editing content these days. It doesn’t mean it wasn’t written by a human.

		Just for a counter, "nearly everyone" seems wildly ambitious. I want no part of AI in any form of my communication, and I know many which espouse the same. I will certainly agree on "many", but not "nearly everyone".

I've been thinking about using Levenshtein to make hexadecimal strings look more similar. Levenshtein might be useful for correcting typos, but not so when comparing hashes (specifically the start or end sections of it). Kinda odd.
