In the digital era, everyone is advised to be more careful. Crimes in cyberspace can happen at any time, and cause huge losses. The test case is not new, the method used can also be in various ways.
Vserizon Media security researcher, Mike Grover found that the lightning cable or charger cable for the iPhone that has been modified, can be used as a hacking media.
The man who is familiarly called MG explained that the cable does indeed function like a lightning cable in general, but inside it is hidden hardware and software in a USB connector, including a wireless access point.
How it works, when the cable is plugged into a computer, it can be used remotely to steal secret codes when the computer owner logs in or installs malicious software.
MG is not the first time having goods like this. Previously he had also made a hack that resembles an Apple USB-C laptop charger, which can hijack a user's computer. There is also a USB drive that can install software on the device and then explode.
For this project he chose lightning cable, because the cable has a small size and is difficult to connect with other devices. He thought if it could be modified into a hacking device, then he could also modify other USB cables.
