Consequence of Hacking Using OMG Cables and Its Security Issues

Abstract

Cyber-attacks have become more common as they prey on unsuspecting people. The assaults often target individuals who utilize USB devices, which are widely available. These USB devices transport a malicious payload that may be exploited to launch attacks. USB peripherals have evolved into a powerful weapon for launching cyber-attacks. Today's society is very dependent on electronic technology, and data must be safeguarded against cyber-attacks, which is a difficult challenge. Hence, to construct a dependable and adequate system, it is vital to build a secure system to guard against attackers while keeping data safe from intruders. Various cables, including the OMG cable, can access data from multiple devices. This paper aims to discuss different kinds of OMG cables, common attacker scenarios, and OMG cable security issues and challenges.
