My friend bought some random no-name Chinese Lightning to HDMI adapter off of Amazon. Without thinking, I was the first one to test it out with my phone to connect it to a TV. I was startled because at first the adapter displayed an amateur "Welcome" splash page with Chinese text on it on the TV. It did eventually mirror the phone screen correctly, but I thought it was just adapter and shouldn't have the ability to even display a splash page on the TV.
Also, the reviews for the listing are questionable as most seem to be for some sort of charging cable:
Well, I know this is probably paranoid sounding, but is there any way that this could have installed malware on my phone? If so, how can I check? I might just do a restore process just to be safe.
