I saw Kevin Mitnik (FBIs most wanted hacker in the 1990s) at a conference plug one of these into laptop with a fully patched version of Windows 10 and one of the very common security suite of apps. The laptop was completely compromised in seconds. From a remote laptop, he had complete access to the target machines full filesystem, started the webcam and turned on the microphone without any notifications to the target user and connected a bluetooth hard drive remotely. And this was using a rogue cable that he just bought off ebay. I was honestly shocked at how easy it would be to compromise someones machine. I'll never look at a USB cable the same way.
