iPhone charger hacking device developed by cybersecurity researcher

A cybersecurity researcher has successfully found a means to mass produce an Apple iPhone charging cable lookalike that can allow a hacker to remotely access someone else's computer, reported Vice. When a victim uses the cable to connect a device to their computer — for everyday reasons like charging or transferring files — a hacker can jump onto the connection to gain access. Once the intruder has access to the computer, they can run commands and rummage through your data.
