I know a bit about token bound channels. But the u2f device only talks to Chrome via usb. So anything that the legitimate chrome could say to the u2f device (negotiating tokens, channels, etc) can now be done by the attacker via webusb. So

How would that help? Couldn't the webusb simply lie to the u2f device about what the channel is?

The purpose of a Yubikey is to prevent users from making mistakes. This phishing attack removes the benefit that Yubikeys provided. Sure a smart users can decline the permission prompt. But a smart user can also simply not enter their passw

Whether the device will last 1 year, or last 3 years, doesn't change whether you should spend 30 minutes to save $50. The rich people who changed their answers were still illogical.

You are misunderstanding the article. The study asked some rich people "would you spend 30 minutes to save $50 on a $300 item". Some rich people said yes. Then they asked "would you spend 30 minutes to save $50 on a $1000 ite

You're thinking that the question is "should I this item or not", or "should I buy this item now or wait a while". Then it could be logical to prefer the higher percent discount. But that's not what the study a

Looking at Redbox's website, it looks like you have to buy a physical thing containing the code and pick it up at the box. I assume directly telling you the code digitally would be more legally troubling.
