The Federal Bureau of Investigation is warning people against using free phone charging stations at places like airports and shopping centers. 📲 In a tweet from its Denver office, the FBI said “bad actors” can use the devices to steal your data.
USB power charging stations in airports, hotels, and other locations because they may contain dangerous malware. USB connections were designed to work as both data and power transfer mediums, with no strict barrier between the two,” the FBI said. “As smartphones became more popular in the past decade, bad actors figured out they could abuse USB connections to hide and deliver secret data payloads that a user might think was only transferring electrical power. This is called “juice jacking.
Consider carrying a charging-only cable, which prevents data from sending or receiving while charging. If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
