Samsung s9+ VS USBKILL V3
Samsung's Galaxy S9+ is the latest flagship smartphone to hit the market. Samsung's last phones were vulnerable to the USB Kill v3 - have things changed with their new device? Have they protected users against the power-surge attack?
WHAT IS THE USB KILL?
The USB Kill 3.0 is a testing device created to test USB ports against power surge attacks. The USB Kill 3.0 tests your device's resistance against this attack.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The USB Kill collects power from the USB power lines (5V, 1 - 3A) until it reaches ~ -240V, upon which it discharges the stored voltage into the USB data lines.
This charge / discharge cycle is very rapid and happens multiple times per second.
The process of rapid discharging will continue while the device is plugged in, or the device can no longer discharge - that is, the circuit in the host machine is broken.
In our tests, over 95% of devices are affected by a USB power surge attack.
Almost all consumer-level hardware fails when tested against the USB Kill. The most frequent outcome is the complete destruction of the device (laptops, tv, telephones, etc). Almost all consumer-level hardware fails when tested against the USB Kill.
WHO NEEDS ONE?
Hardware designers of public machines should have a USB Kill to test their products: photo booths, copy machines, airline entertainment systems, ticket terminals, etc - anything with exposed USB ports should ensure that their systems resist electrical attacks.
Likewise, consumer hardware designers cell phones, laptops, televisions, portable devices - should protect their devices against malicious attacks.
Security auditors, penetration testers, police & government services should also have a USB Kill 3.0 in their arsenal of tools.
Finally, the general public or anyone who wants to legally test their own devices should equip themselves.

Sadly the Samsung GalaxyS9+ is vulnerable to USB power surge attacks. That said it took 2 times to kill it and regarding that test it makes it the hardest recent flagship phone to kill.
To resume
The Samsung GALAXY S9+ was unable to boot anymore
impossible to unlock with any key combination.
battery drained and the phone was unable to be turned on.
