The latest version of such an O.MG cable equipped with a keylogger has appeared. A new storage is installed in the connector part of the USB cable, and it is now possible to save the data stolen by the keylogger. According to MG, the number of keystrokes that can be saved is about 650,000, and the saved keystroke contents can be sent to an external terminal. It seems that the O.MG cable will become a Wi-Fi hotspot, and by accessing it with an external terminal, it will be possible to send data to the outside.

According to Motherboard, a tech media company that contacted MG independently, 'Some people say that USB Type-C is safe for this type of embedded hacking tool because there isn't enough space. , That's clearly wrong. We've been making improvements to prove this, 'he said, revealing that he has focused on downsizing the components of the O.MG cable.
In fact, traditional O.MG cables, like the USB A to Lightning cable and the USB A to USB Type-C cable, have a USB A connector on one side. However, in the latest version, we have succeeded in embedding a dedicated component in the USB Type-C connector part, and according to MG, the special component (green line) dedicated to the O.MG cable hidden in the connector part is originally It is said that it occupies about half of a certain component.
The new O.MG cable with keylogger has geo-fencing capabilities that allow the user to send or stop sending data collected by the keylogger based on the location of the cable. In addition, the latest version of the O.MG cable can send and receive data to and from terminals located more than 1 mile (about 1.6 km) away from the cable, making it more realistic than ever. It is said that it is.
Other improvements in the latest version of the O.MG cable include the ability to change keyboard mappings and exploit system vulnerabilities to forge the identity of certain USB devices.
“The shortage of semiconductors due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus has made the already difficult process even more difficult. It's almost impossible to find a replacement, so we had to wait more than 12 months to make an O.MG cable with the latest key loggers, 'says the secret story behind the production of the latest version.
The latest version of the O.MG cable with keylogger is sold on Hak5, which sells hacking tools, and can be purchased from $ 159.99 (about 18,000 yen).
