How is an attack with non-zero likelihood not a vulnerability? There is an attack. It isn't impossible. Therefore there is a possibility it can be carried out.

This ended up being about semantics. What is relevant is: no practical implications. Lets leave it with that.

Semantics are important, because the vast majority of the infosec community look at IOTA and dismiss it because of the games played with communication.

Is this from your experience or do you estimate that the vast majority will dismisses it? I am curious

Yes, just look at the responses to the original tweet. Look at subreddits outside of /r/iota, look at how the media took the DCI report. There are also the cult-like fanboys. It all looks bad.

Well in all honesty, that is not the ‘infosec’ community. Second, be ware of conflicts of interest. Debunked statements are tossed in over and over. If iota succeeds all these people fear their coin is obsolete. So there is incentive to bash iota

True on my examples, but I haven't yet spoken to anyone in infosec who considers IOTA anything but a joke. The "debunking" is all over the place though. Twitter, reddit, random gists. It's incoherent.

so how about this? get all your infosec buddies and break
$IOTA? use the method that DCI used. there’s been an open invitation to break and hack the protocol. it’s a honeypot worth billions. and if you and your friends can’t break it then you must be the one who’s joking.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

here’s another challenge: get all your infosec expert buddies who are laughing at
$IOTA to come up with an attack vector. surely, experts can come up with something! use the DCI method, any method, any weakness you can expose. save us all from IOTA!https://twitter.com/DavidSonstebo/status/964636242594926592 …~C4Chaos added,
