Have you ever been out in public only to realize your phone has lost its charge? You may be tempted to take advantage of the public phone charging stations you see at an airport or mall, for instance, but this could put you at risk for “juice jacking.” The FBI warns that bad actors are corrupting the USB ports as a way to introduce malware and monitoring software onto your devices. The University IT security team advises you to make a habit of carrying your own charging cord and use an electrical outlet instead. Most importantly, always be sure your phone is running on the most recent software update.
