Juice Jacking
In the juice jacking scam, the private and sensitive information from your phone is leaked when you use a public USB port to charge your phone. Criminals remove the USB ports, replacing these with infected cables and loading malware. While your phone charges, it also drains your sensitive information to scammers. Avoid this scam by investing in a good portable power bank that gives up to 2-3 full charges. Or connect your device to a USB data blocker, that allows the device to charge while blocking data transfer. Or, you can use an AC power outlet instead of using the USB charging stations.
