Cyber-security researchers have successfully accessed Android and iOS smartphones remotely via charging cables, swiping touch screens without actually touching them.The smartphones they hacked from a distance were Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Apple iPhone SE (2020) as well as devices from Huawei, LG, and Xiaomi.Security researchers from Zhejiang University in China and the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany demonstrated the first wired attack in those smartphones that creates ghost touches on capacitive touchscreens via charging cables, and can manipulate the victim devices with undesired consequences -- allowing malicious Bluetooth connections, accepting files with viruses, etc.
