Beware of keystroke loggers disguised as USB phone chargers, FBI warns

The author of the FBI advisory contacted Ars to say the point he wanted to convey is that threat stems not from KeySweeper itself, but from similar types of devices that could easily contain additional functionality. « Arduino being modular and programmable, a cyber actor could swap out parts or alter coding and change what is (frankly) a negligible threat into something actually problematic (e.g., swapping the nRF chip out for some form of Wi-fi sniffer), » the author wrote « It’s the fact this thing looks completely harmless, but can hide something capable of stealing data over the air. »
