Well all of the forums recommend against jumping the truck with the gryphon connected. Might also be in the manual. I dont usually have anything electrical plugged in when I have to get a jump.

Default Possible cable issue?

Well I just looked through the manual and checked the cigarette lighters still work soooo idk.

And I've never had an issue with jumping and anything breaking.

If the cigarette lighter and the programmer work then it is the cable. That is why PHP doesn't tune the '97-'03s. The cable is a weak point.

Ya never say never, especially with modern electronics. Be glad it didn't happen during a programming session.

That's a good idea. Personally I would go to autozone and say you need a code pulled. That way it wont matter much if the scanner gets fried for some strange reason.
