    Lol, plug a usb mouse or keyboard into your android and it will just work. Anything you can do these things can do.

      My phone still requires auth to use plus there is no way for them to get what’s on the screen. I’m also pretty sure that typing a pin requires the screen but I could be mistaken.

      Even if there was a way to attack from USB, I still wouldn’t be that worried. USB attacks typically are only used against targeted individuals not some rando. The reason why you see warnings about chargers is because it makes easy clickbait.
