Just get "power only" cables without the data pins and you're good.
Or just bring a wall brick or charging cable that has no data transmission
why is the network running over a power port in the first place?
Great advice !
if they hacked the airport kiosk shouldnt they do something about it? remove them until they are okay or they trying to reel in more money? like they said they have no incidents yet. so its more of a money thing. pointless as hell
*It won't matter soon, since hacking can be done by just standing next to you*
What do you mean soon ? It's already happening. I can transfer data between any two phones using just Bluetooth. No WiFi or any password required to infiltrate another device. So don't put important information on an unprotected phone. That is why Blackberry phones were the best security phones in the world. It's too bad government officials decided Candy Crush on an iPhone is more important than sensitive government data. A bunch of government morons who wanted to follow the trend at the time of adopting iPhone. LOL
You mean social engineering?
Who is downloading your brain?
This has been a problem for years.
Why keep them around if they easy to hack
*Never seen or used these first time finding out they exist*
“No hacking so far” thanks to you now hackers know lol
As long as you don't use your phone while it's charging, there's little if any information that can be gathered. I would charge my recharger and then charge my phone with the recharger.
I'd rather have more regular household outlets than a bunch of USB ports in airports/planes. It would give me flexibility to plug my laptop as well and not just my phone.
We CAN use these but only for powerbanks, at least that's what i do
Like that’s just common sense 🙄
These free charging stations screwed up my phone's battery. Bring along an extra power battery instead.
The FBI should know that I don't use cell phones.
Yeah let's switch to driverless big rigs what could go wrong
Considering the staffed ones already cause a ton of accidents, catch on fire and shut down a freeway here. I’m sure the self driving ones would be safer.
Could anything be easier than hijacking a driverless big rig?
🤔...
I don't think I'm going to fast today
Time to buy the Nokia flip phone.
It's called juice jacking.
Can have nothing nowadays lol
Use your network data not WiFi
I know right?! Unless you have a VPN do not use public wifi
gimme a break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well take them away then
Simple as that
It’s all about making money get ur own charger that cost a lot money
The whole thing is connected virus scammer phone companies all the same at the end they just want money simple as that
Hello china
Ban cell phones 😂
