This has always happened, not to one but to thousands or millions of people who for some reason run out of battery and the normal thing to do would be to ask someone if they have a charger to be able to use it for a few minutes, or failing that, use some of those public chargers that exist in airports and shopping centers. Well, this custom could very soon become a risk sport, since the OMG cable is beginning to be produced in a huge way.
This fact is especially worrying, because we are not talking about something suspicious like a USB drive, a charging station, or even a home charger, but rather a simple cable with a totally harmless appearance, and that by its nature of being just a cable, no one thinks he could be taking a risk.
The OMG Cable is a smartphone hacking cable, specifically, a wifi transmitter and receiver that operates as a wireless access point. This cable, posing as its harmless appearance and with an exact replica of what could be a normal cable to charge smartphones, IOS or Android operating systems, where this cable, in addition to transferring data from the cell phone to the computer, contains a point wireless access where a hacker or in this case the person who has access can receive the same information that is transferred through the cable. When connection to the access point is made, the hacker who is connected can take control over the phone’s commands, as well as the possibility of searching through the data, files and information of the smartphone.
The cable has more features, such as the ability to auto remove any type of software from inside so as not to leave evidence if it is discovered. On the other hand, it should be noted that it is possible to control it at a distance of approximately 100 meters, but it is also possible to configure it to connect to a nearby Wi-Fi network and thus be connected to the Internet to control it from anywhere in the world .
