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.
