How can a public USB charging station be manipulated by criminals to put a virus on my phone?
In: 370
if you cannot see where the port is connected to there is a myriad of possibilites of what can be done.
– maybe the port is actually connected to a malicious computer system that could implant its own code thru the data link or copy data from your device.
– maybe the port is setup in a way to fry the device its plugged to or at least kill the devices’s USB port.
– maybe the cable itself was modified to do its work and potentally do any of the above.
– maybe either of the above situation have the port or the cable falsely identify themselves to your phone as an input device ot inject malicious commands.
