iPhone charging: don’t do it at public charging stations
You should not use public charging stations, such as those on the train, at the airport or in hotels. That’s what the FBI says in a public warning. Hackers can steal your personal information and other data via the USB ports by means of ‘Juice Jacking’. Unfortunately, this way of hacking has become more and more common in recent years.
Loose cables are also not safe
The loose cables that you sometimes see in these public places are also not safe. After all, you do not see how these cables are connected, because the wire comes from a wall or from a kind of charging box. Fortunately, there is a way to safely charge your iPhone on the train, the airport or at your local Starbucks.
Charge iPhone anyway: you should do this
If you really need to charge your iPhone, you should always make sure you have your own cable and charging block with you. So don’t use the USB connections in the train on the plane to charge your iPhone, but grab a socket.
