    Bleeping Computer[^]:

    A team of academic researchers show that a new set of attacks called ‘VoltSchemer’ can inject voice commands to manipulate a smartphone's voice assistant through the magnetic field emitted by an off-the-shelf wireless charger.

    The hacks are coming from inside the charger

    Am I the only one that thinks these "white hat hackers" need a new hobby?

      If they find one, they should call some security researchers and take them with.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Time for device manufacturers to take a page from EV manufacturers - negotiate the power being supplied and don't accept more than you can take.
