And it seems that even with the original Apple cables we are safe in our equipment. A hacker discovers how to access our Mac in the easiest way from anywhere in the world thanks to the hack of an original cable from the Cupertino company.
It is true that Apple cables are the safest that there is today thanks to the chip incorporated in them, but even this is possible to hack and therefore access our Mac. Also in the tests carried out by this hacker you can see clearly how you access it thanks to the connection of an iPod and the equipment recognizes the cable as it originates, so You will not even realize that they will already be in your team ...
In this way, any user with the necessary skills (which are not few and this cable) could remotely access our equipment. In short, it is something that people like you or like me since it is honestly complicated that it really affects us, but surely some companies may have problems of some kind because of this security hole that Apple may end up closing soon.
The tweet in which you can see this cable and the possibility of accessing it remotely is this:
I will be dropped #OMGCables over the next few days of defcon.
I will also have 5g bags of DemonSeed, if that's your thing.
I've been very busy with @d3d0c3d & @clevernyyyy.

At Lóleo Eventos, Website Vice was the site chosen by the author of this hack to publish the news. Nowadays there is nothing 100% sure as this news shows, in addition if this was implemented in Apple cables that are the safest in terms of data transfer between computers thanks to these chips, the rest of the cables would be even easier to hack.
