- ffsm8 2y agoIt's hard to discern if you're serious or joking. Is that an actual thing? I couldn't find anything by googling
- verandaguy 2y agoI haven't heard of cell modems in particular, but I've used O.MG cables (described and sold here: https://shop.hak5.org/products/omg-cable https://shop.hak5.org/products/omg-cable; I am unaffiliated with either Hak5 or the team behind O.MG cables) which can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network for management/C2 reasons. It's actually really easy to use (and almost scary, coming from never having used one of these). They are quite pricey, but way less so than older cables used by security and jailbreak researchers in years past, which would run into the five figures.
- ffsm8 2y agoI'm aware that there's are local keylogger/payload cables around which let you transmit data short range. My surprise was specifically about the supposed cell modem within a 6€ cable
- fencepost 2y agoIt's not that they're cheap cables - it's that they look like cheap cables (or better, middling expensive higher-quality ones).

- kristopolous 2y agoSomeone selling $200 cables for $2 just to spy on people reminds me of those stories of people supposedly giving out $10 pot lollipops to random children on Halloween
- crote 2y agoYou're not going to sell them for $2 to random people on the street. You're going to sneakily replace the charging cord of some targeted $BIGCORP employee working in a Starbucks.
- ikekkdcjkfke 2y agoSince US doesnt have GDPR it would be the fiduciary duty to install mic's in all cables and record all conversations
- hansvm 2y agoI'm all for some privacy protections, but doesn't 2-party consent cover that particular use case already? In CA, it swings a bit far the other way, and if you have a hidden mic recording a business lying through their teeth with the intent to defraud you, you might have a little wiggle room, but the recording is likely to be thrown out of any civil actions (and some criminal actions).
- jmhammond 2y agoIn Kansas, we’re a 1-party consent state, which gets us back to the previous commenter. Now pardon me while I scoot these potted flowers closer to you…
- jimbobthrowawy 2y agoDon't you have to be party to the conversation to be 1-party? Should still be illegal to record one you're not a part of. (if such laws even apply in person rather than just over phones)
- Molebot 2y agoWhat's that, spider? move the flowers closer? Ok!
- gumby 2y agoSuch a recording can be used for parallel construction
