How this simple iPhone Cable can hack your computer, and steal everything you own.

Honestly this is excellent advice for those who pick up cables around airports, there are so many always DO NOT PICK THESE UP

The fact that they sell both the attack hardware and the hardware to prevent their own attack is such a great money-making scheme

You should look up Hak5 (makers of these) on YT, its used to teach and train (hopefully) ethical hackers and they have a great YouTube channel. I myself train to become a legal hacker and Hak5 and Shannon Morse are just great. Its very important for Pentester for example and you can build your own bad-usb from a Arduino Digispark

don’t you know , ethical hacking is actually a thing and it’s legal . Ethical hackers are employed by the government to hack and see loopholes in major companie’s databases . The job has been around from a while

Just watched. It’s like an easy to use Trojan. Might grab the lightning USB cable. Love the self-destruct feature. Impressive stuff.

Hak5 is quite an insane hacking group.

Been watching hak5 for years and keeping my eyes on these, they’ve been getting more and more advanced as the years go by! I’m glad a big tech channel have brought this to the attention of people less aware.

Yes. Always purchase from reputable companies through the proper channels. I don’t mess around with after market plugs or cables. I know most are safe, I just don’t take these types of risks.

These videos simultaneously scare and reassure me. I’m alarmed to see a new threat, but then Aruns comforting delivery takes the edge off the topic, and the way he offers tips on how to protect yourself shows how much he cares about his viewers. I’ll be sure to get my cables from a reputable source, even if it costs more.

I have severe anxiety, so channels like his make adapting to current threats much easier. Thank you, sincerely.

Arun : “this is a family friendly tech channel!”

Also Arun : “all I need to do is approach from behind, to slip it into the back, and execute a payload”

I appreciate Aruns ability to somehow fit in a rickroll and a “that’s what she said” joke into every video, even the more serious ones!

This video is a reminder to never check that ” always signed in ” or ” remember me button ” also use 2fa please. This video is absolutely terrifying and most like spawned as much hackers as people it saved. A true catch 22 but I’m still glad you put it out to remind us to stay humble and keep on our toes.

I found an iPhone charger wire in Manhattan on a bush sometime last week, now I’m scared that it may be one of those wires lol.
Got to check thoroughly again, but it looks perfectly the same, so I should be safe….. Or am I?

Thank you for spreading awareness about these. When I try to tell many people about attacking hardware, very few take me seriously. They think I’m paranoid for carrying battery packs, not using public wifi, not using used USBs, or other memory devices, etc. I wasn’t fun in school.
