"The "OMG Cable" works exactly like a normal Lightning to USB cable and
can log keystrokes from connected Mac keyboards, iPads, and iPhones, and
then send this data to a bad actor who could be over a mile away."

So it requires you to connect the Lightning cable to a keyboard in order to
capture passwords you type.

Must be a slow news day. This is nothing new. This kind of hardware has
been out in the wild for over a decade:

Yet, you found it necessary to x-post OT out of date crap into
Windows 10?

You're really hard up for attention.

What are you doing here? Exactely the same.

For years you are an eternal and anonymous Troll in the Usenet. You
escaped my filters only because I had to adjust them for technical
reasons. But now you are back in the killfile. An answer is futile.
