The TSA has issued a warning that juice jacking has taken off at airports, so make sure to bring your backup batteries when traveling. Be safe.
“TSA warns that those stations are prime hunting spots for data and identity thieves, thanks to a practice called "juice jacking." Per the TSA's post, "Hackers can install malware at USB ports (we've been told that's called 'juice/port jacking'). So, when you're at an airport do not plug your phone directly into a USB port."

Some use their phone for a boarding pass etc. Some have ebooks on their pads.

Note this is only a concern if plugging your USB cable into any unknown device, even if it looks like a power receptacle.
Simply using the wall charger you likely brought along (since you're travelling anyway) into an A/C outlet protects you from this exploit. No extra batteries or power banks required. |

So, when are we going to take these hackers and scammers seriously and start handing out Draconian jail time and hefty fines to these low life criminals? Right now, it is a crime with little risk and big rewards for very little work. Make an example of a few and others will think twice.

I read about a guy who was arrested for child pr0n...turns out he stole the wrong guy's identity! Talk about being happy to only be charged with identity theft, lol.
