You are vulnerable if you use Public USB Ports To Charge Phones. Use a Power Bank Instead.

This week, the LA County District Attorney’s office put out a warning to remind everyone "you shouldn’t use a public USB port keep your device charged.

Battery power is one of those things that is always at a premium, especially when you’re traveling and need to use one of the precious few power outlets at the airport to keep your device charged.

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. Not exactly worth it, right?

If you do use one of the ports (don’t!), make sure you’re not agreeing to give the port access to data on your device. Depending on your device, you might see a pop up when you connect asking if you trust the device. You do not.

A better option is always to simply plug your phone or tablet into an AC outlet instead.

If power is not available I highly recommend a power bank. Most Powerbanks can get you one full charge or more if needed. I use mine when I go to Disney World and avoid having to pay for a "Fuel Cell" at $30.00 to just rent it for the day "Ouch".

Power Banks can be your friend and can help provide a little juice even when you’re out in the world away from outlets as a whole. They are a great way to promote your business. I can think of anyone who would throw out a Power Bank. You can see many we have available to promote your brand at this link. Branded Power Banks
