Here Is A Way Of Hacking Your Telephone I had Never Heard Of,

until now,


like many people on the move, it is perhaps the first thing you look for, before sitting down, a public mobile telephone charging point, but here is the thing, this week, the LA County District Attorney’s office put out a warning to remind everyone of one way you shouldn’t keep that device charged: a public USB port, the issue is that public USB ports can potentially be hacked so that they install data-stealing malware onto your phone while you charge up. Called “juice-jacking,” the hack could result in scammers getting access to your passwords, personal information and more, I never knew that a harmless looking USB port could be my worst enemy! for fuller look at what happens, and what to do about this almost unseen in plain sight problem, have a look here, photograph by Pixabay.
