IPhone users have a new threat, a cable that is capable of stealing all their data in a matter of seconds. Also, it is impossible to distinguish from a real Apple cable.
When charging our devices we stock up a charger and a cable. No matter what type of equipment it is, these two elements are a fundamental part of the equation and its foundations are immovable.
No one should doubt your charger or its charging cable, they are there to be useful and serve a specific purpose: to increase the percentage of charge of the device. But, What if there were charging cables capable of stealing data from the equipment to which they are connected?
The future is filled with a series of objects made to make life difficult for users and put their personal data at risk. And, is that, data theft is a current issue. Hackers are more and more common and their ways of theft more imaginative.
The last thing that has come to light is a lightning cable, for Apple devices, that it is capable of filtering everything that the person who is using the device to which he is connected at that moment writes.
Despite the scaremongering, this cable is not in the wrong hands or, at least, not at the moment. This cable has been created by MG. This person is dedicated to creating devices capable of hacking other computers, he does it to check the security and possible existing gaps.
The new version of this cable works as follows. When connecting the cable, for example, to iPhone and use the smartphone, everything that is written to the device will be sent to an external person.
What is the problem? Mainly that by sending everything that the user types, they are sending password data and access to applications. In addition, being such a typical Apple cable, other computers make use of it.
And, is that, this cable also serves to connect the keyboard of the iMac. So if someone wanted to find out private information, all they would have to do is replace a normal cable with this cable intended to hack equipment.
We hope that this cable does not fall into the wrong hands, because it would be a real disaster as it is a cable completely identical to the one that Apple offers in its devices. We will have to wait to know the measures that can be taken towards this type of cables.
