Programming Mistake that Caused a Huge Security Gap in the Rabbit R1 Codebase

The video discusses a major security flaw in the Rabbit R1 device, where developers hard-coded API keys into the codebase, allowing potential attackers to access and manipulate user data. The breach was discovered by a group called Rabatute, which reverse-engineered the R1. The video emphasizes the importance of not hard-coding API keys, suggests preventive measures like key rotation and encryption, and criticizes Rabbit's initial response to the breach. It concludes with recommendations for Rabbit R1 users and highlights the need for better security practices.

What was Rabbit's initial response to the exposed API key issue according to Rabbitude?

What is the recommended practice regarding API keys to prevent security issues?
