USB Devices and Airports, Is It Safe?

Going traveling? Thinking of using the airport charging ports? Its pretty convenient being able to plug in our devices just about anywhere now but there’s and increasing risk associated with plugging it in, hackers. Hackers are utilizing free charging stations to steal your personal information and data. Its hard to imagine that an outlet or USB port in a public place could be vulnerable, especially an airport, but its an ideal place for hackers as most people aren’t concerned with what their plugging their device into and that’s the big issue.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR DATA SAFE BY:

– DONT PLUG IN YOUR DEVICES IN PUBLIC PLACES!
– Dont access public Wi-Fi networks or free Wi-Fis.
– Dont charge your devices in public places.
