I was just gunna say this. Been around a long time. Which is why they tell you to use a vpn and malware protection when in public.

read about this years ago where hackers were using free chargers at bus stops/terminals. The people get off the bus needing a re-charge…stick it in , get malware :grimacing: :face_with_diagonal_mouth:
