Ironic! I'm convinced most security problems are caused by well-meaning people breaking down hard- and software and explaining how to "hack" things. I mean if that's unintentional than at best it was security by obscurity to begin with which should be exposed so people don't rely on it.

If you think some curious spare-time white-hat hackers are the main cause of most security problems, you grossly underestimate the size and skillset of the black-hat hacking industry, and the unlimited profit-potential available in that field...

You can just buy a malicious USB cable, complete with a suite of payloads - from a US company, no less.

I hope someday some youtuber drops omg cable at my office for content. Preferably several.

And here I thought the main cause of most security problems was stressed developers on rushed projects where noone cares about security.
