After the teams swapped field goals, with Butker breaking the Chiefs playoff record with a 50-yarder into the wind, the Browns marched for what could have been a momentum-swinging score heading into halftime.

Hackers can access computer or phone through this charging cable

Hackers can now access your computer or phone through a charging cable called the O.MG Cable, which sold for $200 at the DEFCON hacking conference. So this is a charging cable for an iPhone and all they did was replace one of the ends of the cable.

The USB Condom is a small and unobtrusive dongle that effectively turns any USB cable into a secure charge-only cable to allow safe recharging from untrusted USB ports. The best recommendation Johnson gave is to not plug anything into your computer if you dont know where it came from.
