I think it's more like "look how easy it would be to hide complex electronics in your regular cables"
Yeah but this was much easier with USBA so its not really "news"
Being that it's USB-C, which is much smaller, yes, it's news.
There are a lot of C-to-C connections today, with A on its way out. Seeing the same tech embedded in C is rather worrisome - I don't have an electron microscope to examine the cables I buy.
I meant the concept of compromised plugs and sockets in general shouldnt be news to anyone. I guess it is tho and that is not good.
