hackers only need a simple $169 hacking tool called Flipper Zero, a Raspberry Pi, or a laptop to pull it off.
At that point, why mention the Flipper Zero or RPi? Just say it can be done without specialized hardware. I feel like they’re trying to piggyback off of the buzz from the Flipper Zero being banned in Canada recently.
You can buy a WiFi module and just plug it in as HAT, but I still think it’s stupid to even mention when you can use pretty much anything with WiFi that you control. You could probably do the same thing with a rooted Android phone if you wanted.
Flipper Zero is kinda whatever it wants to be since it has ports for additional modules. It’s a hacking tool you need to hack for it to work to get around (most) legal issues.
Maybe they’re trying to justify the stupidity of that ban. I’m still shaking my head over that, it’s like nobody bothered to ask the question “does this thing actually do the thing we’re mad about?”

In other words: you only need a computer. 😱
Flipper Zero doesn’t even have WiFi. At most it’s a screen and button input device for ESP8266, ect.

There was nothing in this article that wasn’t sensationalist click bait crap.
