Η Xiaomi withdrew him from the market extremely fast charger of 65 watts with gallium nitride technology (Xiaomi GaN Type-C 65W), which had started selling at the same time as its flagship line My 10.
Ο The reason he removed the popular accessory from store shelves is a security loophole, which leaves it exposed to hackers. Yes, indeed, that is the reason. The Xiaomi Speed Charger could be tampered with and remotely controlled and thus harm users.
Safety experts have found that the Xiaomi GaN Type-C 65W gallium nitride charger has a memory chip that is used to troubleshoot potential issues and update the charging protocol. But the firmware does not have encryption, which gives hackers the opportunity to change its function.
The simplest scenario for exploiting this vulnerability is that if one wants, one can overload the output voltage, remotely. This can damage performance or even damage charging devices.
Sources in the supply chain confirmed that Xiaomi had withdrawn this charger from all digital platforms, as well as from physical retail stores, citing "emergency reasons".
The Xiaomi GaN Type-C 65W charger can provide a maximum charging power of 50W for the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. It only takes 45 minutes to fully charge the Mi 10 Pro. At the same time, it supports the company's fast charging technology, PD 3.0 and other fast charging protocols. It can also be used to charge an iPhone.
The company said that using the 65W charger to charge the iPhone 11, the charging speed is about 5% faster than the original 50W charger.
