The defeats are a jolt to a full-strength Pakistan side in their preparations for the Twenty20 World Cup
"The cable comes with various payloads, or scripts and commands that an attacker can run on the victim's machine. A hacker can also remotely 'kill' the USB implant, hopefully hiding some evidence of its use or existence," the report said late Monday.
Once plugged in, an attacker can remotely lock a computer screen to collect the user's password when they log back in.
"This specific Lightning cable allows for cross-platform attack payloads, and the implant I have created is easily adapted to other USB cable types," the hacker known as MG was quoted as saying.
"Most people know not to plug in random flash drives these days, but they aren't expecting a cable to be a threat," he added.
MG made the cables himself, modifying real Apple cables to include the implant.
He now wants to get the cables produced as a legitimate security tool.
