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.

My point being is that it's not going to be something you're going to worry about buying at sprawl-mart, that cable is barely functional as a cable.

Unless someone makes sure it's the one you buy. That is.

If someone is targetting you, that's a different story.
