NEVER Plug Into These USB Ports

You can also get a charge-only cable. No data connections on the pins.

Thank god for later clips because the pods cast is exhausting to listen to straight through.

So much Vocal Frey and repeating things over and over it’s good to just grab topics

Or you can use cable without support data transfer. Mostly this kind of cables comes with headphones.

Use USB data blocker or just charge battery packs to charge phone.

FBI: "USB can do data guys!"

Good to know all that money isn't going towards hiring VERY slow people...

[ArthurDeKeersmaeker]

I guess if you buy a charging cable that isn't able to transfer data. It would be also safe.

(Cable with only red 5v+ wire and black - wire . No data wires)

[chrishdez]

charge-only cables or data-blocking USB dongles/adapters

[johnpallow]

How does this hack work? When I plug in via usb I always have to approve my phone to allow data transfer or power only

[SickPrid]

you can charge it anywhere, just do not use data cable

[DerbJd]

If you plug your power adapter into a public electric socket, then plug your usb wire into that, you’ll be fine. This article is about actual USB sockets fitted into walls in public spaces. Lew, you sort of got it wrong at the beginning.

Avoiding usb from plane seats too. People are seated there for hours; anyone with malicious intent has plenty of time.

Here you go if you want to make some money. Create and patent a little USB thumb drive you can carry with you and plug it into any power port and it will tell you if it's juice jacked or clean. Double your money by making one with a black light and not only can they check the power port in a hotel room, they can also check the bed for stains. LOL

While they’re at it, the FBI should also tell people not to use the public Wi-Fi at airports as well. Hell, don’t even use cell towers near airports. Never use anything not password protected.

[GeorgiaAigroeg]

wouldn't theoretically a charging outlet be able steal info too? I guess it would be blocked by your charger not build to read it, but if with a super smart future gan plug it is theoretically possible. Just think of those ooutlet internet or Wifi, ethernet over powerline or internet over powerline

[danhunters]

Just put a piece of tape over the data pins, the two in the middle.

[rewind]

Imagine telling someone you got “juice jacked” 🤔

[Usernamebreh]

fun fact.
its the fbi doing these hacks.
goodbye.

hasn't this been going on for years? like almost if not a decade? people haven't caught on? some older generation might be too confused and use a normal power adaptor. anyone under the age of 30 would recognize that a power adaptor would be much faster than a usb in the wall. i can see some people in the middle being fooled but how is it still going on?!
