2. Oh My: A USB cable hiding a Wi-Fi controller and a backdoor, designed by a researcher and nicknamed Offensive MG, or O.MG, could be connected to computer to execute malicious commands.

3. You’re Not Welcome: Microsoft kicked out eight apps from its official store for secretly mining users’ computers for cryptocurrency.
