News flash https://www.crn.in/security/hidden-bug-in-fpga-chips-can-help-hackers-steal-critical-data/ . Looks like a team had discovered the bitstream can be modified and broken even though encrypted.

Yes, but, the attack requires close and invasive physical access to the target.
As X said, if the attacker has close access to the target you have bigger problems than breaking bit stream encryption.

It does support my unproven law of all security systems - they can be broken - always !
