I'm confused about #1. If I have a power adapted plugged into the wall, and a USB cable from that power adapted to my phone, how exactly could my phone be compromised?
- l33t233372 4y agoThe attack involves placing a device between the cord and the wall.
- yardstick 4y agoThe scenario was talking about a power bank where you plug a USB cable into, not where you plug your own power adapter into. Lots of people, myself included, don’t carry power adapters or even charging cables on them on a day-to-day basis. Using your own power adapter and own power cable you will be fine. Unless someone has tampered with either of them while you were distracted momentarily but that’s too high risk/inconvenient for an attacker for you to worry about.
