Is it safe to keep your smartphone permanently connected to your computer?

I have a habit at work of keeping my phone connected to the computer all the time, it is defined like this:

Researchers have found a way to hack an android connected via usb even without usb debugging options enabled so that if there are enough incentives, the smartphone will be hacked via cable

Yes, it's safe. You shouldn't be paranoid.
When connecting to a computer, click "Do not trust" (this computer). iOS has pretty high security, so you don't have to worry.
The theoretical possibility of accessing smartphone files appears when it is connected to the Internet. That is, the computer has nothing to do with it. All you need is WiFi or 3G, and you are already in direct contact with Apple and everyone with whom it cooperates. But friends and work colleagues will still not be able to access the files - not that level. :)
