Hello Friends..!
It seems incredible, but it is a very recent development that offers a high risk for mobile phone users. This topic of my post today is as controversial as it is amazing.
In the current life that we all carry out, it is very necessary to carry a charger for our mobile phone or tablets with us, something as simple as recharging a battery is part of our daily routine. But all technology is subject to processes of evolution and updating that we hope will be for the well-being of all users.
I was greatly surprised to learn of a charger cable that is capable of “stealing” the information you have available on your phone, your personal data and application keys, this seems like a “nightmare” to me.
Facts and Handshacking
It is a mobile phone charger cable, called O.MG that has inside a modem with private Wifi that allows a hacker to access your mobile and consequently to the private data of the mobile owner.
Can you imagine the number of people and the valuable information that is at risk from this "novel invention"?
In this I must comment that this practice of "theft of information" through data connection, but without direct manipulation of the human being is known as handshacking, and for this it does not matter how many security applications you have installed on your mobile, the hacking of information it will always happen if you get to use this O.MG cable.
One of the protection measures already known for other causes is simply to charge the phone off, another simpler case would be to only use data cables recommended by the provider of your phone, and in a more extreme case never use a borrowed charger bale.
What is the cost of borrowing a mobile charger? How important is your information stored on your device? Can you distinguish a "data stealing cable" from a normal one? Do you feel that your passwords and bank details are insurance on your mobile now that you know this news?
If you liked this post, comment and let me know your opinion ..!

Hello @madridbg,
this will teach us not to lose our chargers and not to borrow them, I particularly don't like the idea of this new data stealing cable.

Hi @tocho2, certainly every day we see more important technological advances, now see how malicious people use these advances to cause damage is what I personally do not like and I'm sure many others either, stealing important information from our phones through a cable. thanks for sharing such important information, I am sure that many others do not like it either.

Wow! I'm really just reading something about this for the very first time. I think I will have to be very more careful about borrowing charger cables from people to avoid getting hacked and loosing some personal/important data.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕❤️

Hello @tocho2
This if I had not imagined it, it's crazy. I'm particularly picky about my stuff in this regard. I don't use other people's stuff, it seems quite risky to me every time. But this is even worse than I thought. Thanks for the information.

So the best recommendation is not to be connected our cell phones to any cable, it is essential to carry the cable of your equipment wherever you go.
Imagine now with so much information that we have in our cell phone, that by an oversight and we do not use our cable, we become a victim of a hacker.

Hello @lanzjoseg,
I think that in these times that many people work with their phone is when the most care should be taken with the use of cables and borrowed chargers.

Wow, this is interesting news, without a doubt the methods to try to access a person's data fraudulently are becoming more sophisticated, not even a borrowed charger can be trusted, I think it will be a security standard not to borrow a charger and use the data cable supplied by the manufacturer of the equipment, what a madness.

Greetings @ tocho2
Technological advances amaze us more and more every day, but the significant thing is that science should do things to solve problems and not to cause more. Technological engineers (pirates) are evolving more than AI. You have to pay more attention now and not use anything that is not yours, what else is left to see ....
Thank you very much for sharing your publication.

Hello @dgalan, I just did not like the invention of this cable at all, the technology must be to help people.

Hello @tocho2!
New day, new technology, and for sure new hacking, stealing, and damaging methods. I've never imagined something like this and would never imagine too. That might bring high insecurity when it's about using other people's cables and chargers which is something that happens frequently since most people are highly addicted to their phones so they need to charge multiple times a day.
Thanks for sharing this useful information!

Hackers are evolving more innovative ways every day to pick up victims and steal data, information, cryptos...etc
I must admit that this is the first time I've heard of such a charger and it will certainly make me more careful about borrowing people's stuff.
