Malicious USB-C cables, which can intercept data, eavesdrop on communications, and even take control of devices, are becoming increasingly common. These cables, often indistinguishable from regular ones, are sold by both specialist spy retailers and unscrupulous sellers. Identifying these cables requires advanced scanning techniques, such as 2D and 3D scans, to reveal hidden components like Wi-Fi servers and keyloggers. The O.MG USB-C cable is a notorious example that hides an embedded Wi-Fi server and a keylogger. To protect yourself, it's crucial to buy cables from reputable brands, look for suspicious signs, use data blockers, and, if necessary, employ professional detection services.
