> The O.MG Cable is a hand made USB cable with an advanced implant hidden inside. It is designed to allow your Red Team to emulate attack scenarios of sophisticated adversaries. Until now, a cable like this would cost $20,000 (ex: COTTONMOUTH-I). These cables will allow you to test new detection opportunities for your defense teams. They are also extremely impactful tools for teaching and training. Thanks to continual firmware updates, the resulting power, flexibility, and ease of use have made the O.MG Cable a favorite.
They're the dominant carrier in my area, so these sorts of screwups make me nervous. I can't easily avoid using them without a fair amount of inconvenience.
Alaskan Airline flight 261 is one example.
> The subsequent investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that inadequate maintenance led to excessive wear and eventual failure of a critical flight control system during flight.

Just ask any CISO if they would bet their job on surviving a $1M unrestricted red team exercise with a year-long timeframe. They would all be scared shitless by the thought. I bet if you asked the CISO of MGM three days before the attack: "How much would it cost to hack MGM and cripple operations?" they would answer like every other CISO I have heard answer that question and say something on the order of $100K. They know it does not work; they are there to be sacrificed and just hope it does not happen on their watch.
