Hey Props Members!
Hope you guys are good, In this content "You Must Avoid Public USB Ports to Charge Your Phone", I am going to talk about very serious issues about Public port!
Battery power is one most important things that are always at 1st pride, especially when you’re traveling as well as on the long journey and need to use one of the precious few power outlets at the airport to keep your Smartphone charged.
The Report of LA Country District Attorney's Office Put Out A Warning: to remind everybody of one way you shouldn’t keep that smartphone charged: a public USB port.
We warned Pros members about using public USB ports back in May.
The main problem is that public Usb Ports can potentially be hacked so that they install data-stealing malware onto your smartphone while you charge up. that is Called “juice-jacking,” the hack could result in scammers getting access to your passcode, personal data, information and more. Not exactly worth it for a few more times of Candy Crush, right?
If you do use one of the Ports (don’t!), ensure you’re not agreeing to give the port access to the media file, data, and any other information on your device. Depending on your smartphone, you can see a pop up when you connect asking if you trust the device. You do not.
A better opportunity is always to simply plug your phone or tablet into an AC outlet instead. we highly recommend picking up a small surge protector prior to your holiday travels, long-distance journey and bringing that along. The defender takes up an essential amount of bag space and can be an almighty tool when it comes to negotiating with someone to let you share a power outlet.
Things like portable batteries may further be your friend and can help contribute a little juice even when you’re out in the world away from outlets as a whole. I’m a huge fan of this Mophie battery that can even charge your laptop if you need it to, but if your phone is your only concern you can get some much smaller and lower batteries that may get the job done as well.
