Noticed a weird thing at the airport charging station yesterday

I was at Denver International and saw a bunch of people just plugging their phones straight into the public USB ports. That's a big risk for 'juice jacking' where bad stuff can get on your phone. Do you guys use those portable battery packs instead?

Totally saw that same thing last time I flew. My friend’s dad, who does something with computer security, went on a whole rant about it once. He basically said those ports are like public drinking fountains for your data. Now I just carry one of those chunky battery packs, even though it’s a pain. It feels like adding another thing to remember, but I guess it’s better than the alternative.

Ever try a USB data blocker?
