Don't let the hype cloud reality for you. The attack is basically
impossible for any user using the product properly, and if an attacker has
physical access to your system such that he can overwrite your private
keys, there are much easier attacks such as installing a keyboard logger.
The hype appears to be a publicity stunt for a Czech company.
