- dietr1ch 3y agoYeah, I dropped a word by rewriting it, but you can only edit it for so long So, does that mean that all the sketchy USB cable VULNERABILITIES apply to DP ports too?
- chx 3y agoYou can't transmit data through DisplayPort, so no. The blog post I linked has a list of cables which you can plug into a DisplayPort host and a USB C monitor and it'll transmit the video data. Some might add power and even data from other USB source(s). But that doesn't make DP carry data, no.
