PUBLIC USB PORTS

Friends, today we will talk about Public USB Charging Ports, what are they good at and what is dangerous in it? And you know that data is also transferred from the USB port? So how would you feel if someone stole your personal data? Today we will talk a lot about such public USB ports and I tell you how to avoid them.

# What is the threat from Public USB Port?

Look, brother put a simple thing in mind, never to use a public USB port, nothing at all. As such, your personal data photo video is expected to be leaked. And you know what the world is like.
And the biggest thing is that USB does not work just for charging, it also sends your data. There are also attacks in the phone many times, i.e. USB will put some codes in your phone, your phone can be destroyed by the system, such attack is called "Juice Attack".

After installing the USB in a number of old phones, there is no popup for the permissions and instant data transfer option opens, but nowadays the iPhone and the new Android phone comes with the option of data transfer to trust you on this computer or device or Not? So this is a good thing of the new smartphone.And if you did not give permission to the computer, then it will only help in charging, and will not transmit data.

If you have an iPhone then you are absolutely safe, unless you have any unknown security hole on your phone. That's why Apple has brought the "USB Restricted Mode" feature. To avoid such an attack. In case of security, brother no one can give any competition to the iPhone. And this is quite a good thing.

And if you have an Android phone then there is a great danger here. Because many Android phones have Outdated Operating Systems, which gets easily USB ATTACKS.

# Get a USB Charge-Only Adapter

If you charge from the normal USB wire then there will be danger from the public USB port. But if you take a good USB only Charge Adapter ($ 6.41), then it will only charge the mobile, it will not transfer the data, because its Data Pins are Disconnected. And it is also called USB Condom. Do not laugh. hahah
And if you have an Android phone then you can also buy Charge Only Cables, which will be able to charge your phone only, and prevent data transfer. Its price is $ 7.49 which is called portapow cable.

How to Protect Yourself From Public USB Charging Ports

Use your own charger in AC outlet

Public Charging Stations also provide standard AC power and USB charging port in many cases. But leave the USB and select AC outlet. Because there is no danger here.

POWERBANK

And at the end of the article, I will say only that if all these are to be avoided then buy power bank as it gets only in 800 rupees and 2-3 times your phone is also charged. What does the difference if 700-800 rupees go? How much money would You have paid for your gf? hahah, then think a little bit for yourself, and you will be 100 miles away from the danger. Going further, the Wireless Charging System is also coming up anyway.
