Imagine these being swapped out for the normal cables at an airport or mall "charging" station .. hundreds of people using those cables every day for charging .

  In my experience public charging stations don't have cables, only sockets, but yeah, leaving a hanging cable there is sure to catch a few people. Now that I think of it, the charging sockets themselves on airport benches or on the dedicated desks could also be compromised easily. Is there a way to detect something fishy is happening? Since the implant can be reached remotely another attack would be simply to passively collect the data being transferred between a laptop and an external device.
