Seems like an ad that wants you to be afraid and which is pointing fingers to something that's a feature, not a bug or a security threat. This reads a lot like "This feature that allows you to link a phone with a computer... allows you to link a phone to a computer!" Why the focus on iPhone by the way? Someone who wants to spy on you does not specifically need this Windows feature to do it and as the article says "Mac users have had this ability for many years now". So... (but indeed, a small indicator that the phone is linked to a computer might ne useful... but would the vulnerable people notice it?) It's not the first time an ad devoid of insightful content submitted to HN reaches the front page, last time was not long ago.
