Ryan Montgomery, a cybersecurity professional, warned that using a seemingly normal iPhone charger could betray users' privacy, allowing remote access to their devices.
Montgomery demonstrated how the 'O.MG cable' masquerades as an ordinary charger, giving him complete access to his computer without connecting his iPhone, highlighting the danger.
Security researcher Mike Grover emphasized the insidious design of the cable, equipped with a web server, USB communications, and Wi-Fi, enabling hackers to exfiltrate sensitive data.
The 'O.MG cable' costs only $180, a significant reduction from previous versions costing over $20,000, making sophisticated hacking tools more accessible to malicious actors.
