The term “#juicejacking” refers to a form of cyberattack where a public #USB charging port is infected using hardware and software changes to steal data or install malware on devices connected to it. @NabeelAhmed_5 writes on juice jacking.

Will someone please explain to me why everyone keeps freaking out about #juicejacking? Android has protection from it by default in the operating system. When plugging into a port capable of transferring data you need to manually enable data transfer. Maybe iPhone is different?

Cosa è il #juicejacking, perché è pericoloso, come evitarlo e le precauzioni da prendere: la ricarica #USB è la porta di accesso degli #hacker.
Se ti capita di ricaricare il tuo #smartphone in stazioni di #ricarica pubblica segui questi #consigli.

At least AARP Magazine got the #JuiceJacking nonsense right so I can keep my parents’ attention focused on software updates & password security.

@Stirlo @tay @Scarlet @EU_Commission well,OFC #JuiceJacking is an issue but don't think for a second that inductive chargers ain't communicating data at all.

It's just not as trivial...

What does help are data blockers that disconnect the data pins and do the power negotiation themselves, if not dedicaded "stupid DC Jack" adaptors or having ones' own charger or at least aforementioned data blocker.

Oh juice jacking, so feared by many,
You've caused us to worry in plenty
Though you seem to pose threat
We know it's not yet
We stand strong- we refuse to be any

Yeah, I heard about this and I thought that people were getting up in arms over something that does not actually happen, and here is the proof:

Remember all the warnings about "juice jacking" from public USB charging stations?
This attack is not a thing. The warnings are nonsense, says Ars Technica.
It's apparently never been documented to ever have happened in the wild.

a while ago i asked, where's the beef in these claims of usb charging vulnerabilities?eff looked into it. krebs article, 2011 -> l.a. district attorney quick hit, 2019 -> fcc article, 2019 -> fbi denver field office tweet -> mass media. no actual exploits documented or claimed. not enough meat here to make tofurkey.

Wir alle sind andauernd unterwegs - und unsere #Handys auch. Häufig geht ihnen vor der Zeit der „Saft“ aus und wir suchen händeringend nach einer #Lademöglichkeit. Oh - da ist ja eine - in aller #Öffentlichkeit. Schnell das #Ladekabel reingestöpselt, oder? Erstmal überlegen - Sie könnten auch Opfer des sog. #JuiceJacking werde.

As there were many reports about #JuiceJacking, so, the danger of connecting your phone to public charging ports, within the last weeks, I'm happy the EFF is debunking most of it:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/be-skeptical-fbi-warnings-about-phone-chargers-0

Modern phones these days normally connect with "charge only" modes that don't accept data transfers.

Of course there are always bugs and dangers with devices and you should stay safe!

But some attack scenarios are blown out of proportion at times. And this is one surfacing repeatedly. 🙂

@YourAnonRiots In return people like @fuchsiii will rightfully point out that it's likely the only option to securely transfer an #update to a device that's most likely having a data-blocking circuit in it's USB cable to prevent #JuiceJacking attacks...

And everyone who has ever dealt with shitty #firmware will agree that having a convenient option will increase the likelyhood of people updating their shit.

Das Laden von Smartphone oder Tablet birgt Datenrisiken. Das FBI empfiehlt, ein USB-Kondom zu tragen – zumindest in der Öffentlichkeit. Es nennt noch andere Maßnahmen gegen Juice-Jacking.
