Could ordinary-seeming USB cables have MALWARE in them?

Like, pretending to be only cables but really there's a drive hidden in the head?
We casually use cables for our phones and computers - buying cheap shit from China. But what if they've already delivered malware n shit into our devices and we had no idea?
If so, which cables are safe to use? How do we make sure the ones we have are safe?

Explain it to me like I'm a tech retard (because I am one).

no. go back to /x/ you schizo.

all major cable manufacturers are already compromised, the ONLY way to have secure cables is to source the minerals, smelt the wires, apply the insulation and build the end connectors yourself. pretty simple.

Yes. But go back to /x/ anyway.

usb drive with malware in a cable?
yeah sure this is absolutely possible technically

>which cables are safe to use?
any cable is safe as long as you don't forget to put on your hat

>using cables
lmao gramps go back to 2010

>using compromised copper and steel ever

good luck charging your shit for eight hours with your wireless trinket, kid

keked

it charges in 1 hour whereas cable fast charging takes 30 mins
literally irrelevant difference

Apple's lighting cable got chips inside, yes it fill with something.

The is would still have to mount and run the drive. Maybe if you added a hid, but that would be detected pretty quickly. If you're wondering how they're giving you up the ass, it's the price you pay for the cable.

Only Apple cables are safe

because they dont work?

No they would hide the chip in the power connector, much more space and easier to implant

If they can hide a spy chip in a grain of sand-sized SoC, yes, they can stick something in a USB cable. That said, I don't think so.

Just buy the cheapest possible cables. The manufacturers are not going to put extra shit in them when the market is so competitive.

Don't cheap out on cables. Chinks are willing to take losses anywhere since selling data is where the actual money is.

How do I get into this? Is it doable with type c?

If this isn't bait I suggest necking yourself troglodyte

USE SHOELACES user
only SHOELACES are SAFE
and ONLY the RED and BLACK STRIPY SHOELACES. the OTHERS.. no, NOthe otherssssssnnnnooo ththeyyy rre comminggg

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT AFRICANS DIDNT VODOO MAGIC OUR CABLES?
