Attention!

We would like to inform you all about a safety concern recently issued by the FBI. They have warned residents about the potential dangers of using public USB charging stations for your electronic devices, specifically when it comes to juice hacking.

Juice hacking is when someone manipulates a public USB port or charging cable to install malware or steal data from your device. Hackers can easily tamper with these charging stations, which can result in the theft of personal and sensitive information. The FBI has reported an increase in these types of attacks across the country.

To protect yourself and your personal information, we recommend that you avoid using public USB charging stations whenever possible. Instead, use your own personal charger or a portable battery pack, and to avoid using public charging stations whenever possible. If using a public charging station is necessary, it is important to use your own charging cable, rather than using the USB port directly, and always keep a watchful eye on your device while it is charging.

By taking these simple precautions, we can help prevent juice hacking and protect ourselves from potential harm. Please share our post with your friends and family to inform them of the potential dangers of public USB charging stations. Let's work together to keep our community safe and secure.
