Well, that quote from Wikipedia says the published paper didn't include a working exploit. That might be true even if a working exploit was available after the paper was written and submitted but before it was published. (I don't know if this is the case here, but this sort of thing is common in scientific publishing.)
- defrost 3y agoTo clarify: Mind you, lots of things get kicked about and implemented before actual papers appear on them for the first time in public. I was thinking of many examples I know where a technique is developed and used in industry (mineral exploration | remote imaging | secret spook stuff) and much later (five years or more) gets a first mention in acedemia .. where they may or may not get a robust working version happening .. just a rickety proof of concept.
