Amazing and frightening. I had heard about ordinary LED bulbs that use just for light but that can also be used to spy on you, like smart fridges and other such stuff. Never heard about it in conection (no pun intended) USB-C cables, which are used more & more.
From the microcode on the CPU, the RAM, the storage devices, the peripheral systems and the input and output devices we are low hanging fruit for the plucking. (Plucking rhymes conveniently with a better word.)
Then we need to consider our cellphones. The possessive our is not strictly accurate here. They are the phones licensed to us.
Not surprising. I finally fixed my "malware" issue by disconnecting my ethernet cable and going wifi only. Not a good solution but the serial attacks on my Mac finally stopped after years of hell.
Just because I wrote about Israeli Apartheid in the early 2000s…
I don't have the formal education to fully understand the technical details here. Not even close. But as a more person-focused Federal Security Professional, I'm VERY interested in the subject here. I see no positive need, or use, for this type of technologic capability. I'm foreseeing wider use by smaller malicious State & non-State actors. "How do we strengthen our ability to detect & defend against this mal-technology?" seems to be OUR question to answer, right?....

Thanks for sharing.
It's USB-C all the way down!
