Hacker Like Lightning Mac
Sep 30, 2019 A security researcher has developed a new Lightning cable that looks like it was built by Apple, but that can actually allow hackers to remotely take control of the computer that it's plugged into. Aug 15, 2019 A security researcher has shown how USB cables, even ones that look like Apple’s Lightning cable, could hijack your machine. Mike Grover, a. Hacker Evolution Duality is the hacking simulation game, developed by exosyphen studios. Based on the successful Hacker Evolution game series, it has been completely redesigned to offer an impressive and new gaming experience. My Mac has currently been hacked. I am finding out he is getting into all my bank accounts and changing the password and even 401k and trading accts. He is also attempting to hack my girlfriends computers as well as we speak. I think he got in through a hole i had with my smart tv, google WiFi, wenmo plugs, google home, Phillips hue lights etc.
Illustrating the potential threat from untrusted accessories, a hacker has developed a proof-of-concept Lightning cable with a hidden Wi-Fi chip that could allow parties to seize control of a Mac.
Nicknamed the 'O.MG Cable,' it closely resembles Apple's own official products. When attached though it can deliver and trigger code payloads, potentially even reflashing a system, according to its creator. In a video, the cable — controlled remotely via an iPhone Web interface — is shown opening up a phishing website on a Mac, then the O.MG project page.
'I am going to work on getting a batch of these made for researchers and those working in the industry,' the latter promises.
Practically speaking most people are unlikely to face a bugged Lightning cable, since they're buying from Apple directly or MFi-certified vendors. The O.MG technique also appears to require an attacker to be within local Wi-Fi range, making it of little use even to most black-hat hackers.

Conceivably though some variant could be used in political or corporate espionage, substituted in place of a target's normal cable.
