Elektron Stops Firmware Mods Being Shared on Its Own Forum, and Blames the AI-Assisted Hacking Surge
On September 16 Elektron announced it will no longer allow hacks and firmware modifications to be shared on the official Elektronauts forum or its social channels, citing a surge of custom firmware — much of it apparently AI-assisted — and the risk of untested builds bricking devices. Long-established projects including Machinedrum X remain authorised.
