Evil USB Cable Can Remotely Accept Commands From Hacker



Plugging a USB cable into your PC may seem like a harmless affair. But not if the cable has been made by a hacker.

On Sunday, the security researcher Mike Grover demonstrated the threat by creating a malicious USB cable that can receive commands from a nearby smartphone and then execute them over the PC it's been plugged into.

His USB-to-Lightning cable looks pretty generic, but Grover actually fitted a Wi-Fi chip inside one of the sockets. Unsuspecting users will think they've plugged a simple cord into their PC. But in reality, the computer will actually detect the cable as a Human Interface Device akin to a mouse or keyboard.

Grover uploaded a video, showing the attack in action. In it, he plugs the cable into a MacBook. Then he uses his smartphone to remotely trigger the laptop to visit a malicious Google login webpage that can secretly collect the owner's password.

How to get Microsoft 365 for free?
365 spending a cent
Anyone can use Microsoft's Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps without spending a cent. Here's how.

If you're staying at home for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus pandemic, you might be in need of some basic tools on your personal or work computer, like Microsoft 365. Formerly known as Office 365, Microsoft 365 is a service that debuted in April that adds more features to the office software. But if you don't want to shell out the cash, there are a few ways you can get the service and its apps for free.

Microsoft's suite of productivity software -- including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint -- typically costs $150 for a one-time installation (as Office 365), or between $70 and $100 every year for subscription service access across devices and family members (as Microsoft 365). Microsoft also recently said it would release a new standalone version of Microsoft Office for both Windows and Mac -- no subscription required -- at some point in 2021.
