Issue dossier
CyberThreat's site still hosts rich 2024 Secure Impact badge and walkthrough material, including hardware and firmware challenge evidence, while its 2026 pages give only high-level hackable-badge activity wording. No reviewed source says that Secure Impact, the ATmega1284P/FTDI design, the nine challenges, or any 2024 mechanics will return in 2026.
A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
