    I think it’s more like “look how easy it would be to hide complex electronics in your regular cables”

        Being that it’s USB-C, which is much smaller, yes, it’s news.

        There are a lot of C-to-C connections today, with A on its way out. Seeing the same tech embedded in C is rather worrisome - I don’t have an electron microscope to examine the cables I buy.

          I meant the concept of compromised plugs and sockets in general shouldnt be news to anyone. I guess it is tho and that is not good.
