How can a public USB charging station be manipulated by criminals to put a virus on my phone?
In: 370
The cable in reality should only be connected to a power source for charging. Phone is plugged in, it charges. But imagine someone tampers with it and connects the other end to a hidden computer. Now you’re plugging your phone into a malicious computer. Possibilities are endless. There’s also tools like the zomg cable that don’t need to be connected to a computer at all. The cable itself is malicious as there’s a small computer chip in it.
