PortaPow Data Blocker 3rd Gen Anti Juice Jacking protection for your phone or tablet while charging
techwg
These are cheap devices, essentially a USB data condom. It's a little device you plug your charging cable into and then you plug this device into an untrusted source of power, whether it is a public charging station, a cafe, a bus, where ever it is, you plug these dongles in, then you plug your phone or other devices into that, which prevents all data communication to and from your device.
Juice Jacking is the name of the attack, where hackers who are also plugged in, or at specifically malicious power points can, in many circumstances do one or more of the following: Steal data off your phone. Put data on your phone. Install spy and malware tools to steal info and spy on you. They can also act as a monitor or TV and watch, live, what you are doing on your phone while you are plugged in.
There are a lot of potential dangers when you plug your phone/tablet etc into an untrusted power source.
These PortaPow Datab locker devices are very cheap and offer you total protection from hackers who seek to interact with your phone, to your detriment.
I HIGHLY recommend you get one if you use such free charging points in public. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fTAw2uN-yw
