The official cause has not been determined, but it looks like a USB Type-Micro B to USB Type-C adapter may have been involved.
Today's news was even more definitive:
These cables 'remembered' the USB power setting from one device to another, which could lead to the wrong voltage and current frying your electrical gear, potentially causing a fire. While the impact of technology can be great, there are certain techniques that should be implemented and there's a helpful explanation of the issue in this YouTube video, Why Anker recalled USB Type-C cables.
We'll post more as future videos arise pertaining to cable quality and its impact.
