Comment on Don't Plug Your Phone into a Charger You Don't Own

Comments

Why only those you don't own? For all I know, the north Koreans/Mossad/NSA/Chinese government/... (Pick whoever you want as the villain) could have planted this functionality in every USB adapter Apple/brand X (pick whoever you feel could fall for this) sells.

IIRC the adapter would need internet access to add your devices UDID to the certificate.

Unless they use an enterprise signing certificate.
