Stuff like this has been around for well over a decade now. I remember something I think was called "evilUSB" or something that did basically the same thing.

From the post:

>Industrial CT scanner manufacturer Lumafield imaged an O.MG pen testing USB-C cable, revealing sophisticated electronic components secreted within the connector. Lumafield product lead Jon Bruner shared on X (formerly Twitter) a CT scan that revealed the interior of the O.MG cable, showing advanced electronics and an antenna — a much more complicated design versus the Amazon Basic USB-C cable that Lumafield scanned for comparison. Security researcher Mike Grover created this pen testing (penetration testing) cable for fellow security researchers and hobbyists, red teamers, and for awareness training, especially for highly vulnerable or targeted individuals.

Consider CPU Intel dies. Imagine what they sneak on them. I hope Intel goes out of business.

IME, Intel management engine, It runs its own operating system that you cannot access that has access to every single data line the CPU does (including networking abilities). The US Government/NSA worked specifically with Intel and PC suppliers to create specific hardware configurations that would automatically disable IME for gov purchases (wonder why?).

AMD has something similar as well. All mass market CPU's do.
