FBI warns consumers not to use public phone charging stations | CNN Business

Public USB stations like the kind found at malls and airports are being used by bad actors to spread malware and monitoring software, according to a tweet last week from the FBI’s Denver branch. The agency did not provide any specific examples. “Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead,” the agency advised in the tweet.

“Just by plugging your phone into a [compromised] power strip or charger, your device is now infected, and that compromises all your data,” Drew Paik, formerly of security firm Authentic8, explained to CNN in 2017. The cord you use to charge your phone is also used to send data from your phone to other devices. For instance, when you plug your iPhone into your Mac with the charging cord, you can download photos from your phone to your computer.

Hahahahahahaha, can’t get more malicious then the fbi))

做的很对，大家都听话

FBI is warning about something that has only been theoretical for the past 12+ years. No documented real-world cases of juice jacking. You should be more concerned about using a VPN to protect your security when connecting to public hotspots.

The amount of people here who don't know how to turn off data transfer is insane.. is it just a Samsung/Android feature? Apple should get it in the next 5 years

👀

Lol.. unoptimized phones cant get tru the day 🤷😂
