Re:A type of cyberattack that could set your smartphone on fire by Kirby64 on Monday February 26, 2024 @10:00PM (#39519648)
If you took a cell phone that only accepts 9V or 12V and changed it to think it was permitted to accept 20V, you could easily fry a phone. Charger will happily supply it if you trick the phone side.

This would require malware on the phone itself, though. Possibly something quite low level.
