Option 1 & 2 is already #enough a lot, but still if u are #someone who #forgets these #precautionaries #easily, #better go for a #charge only #cable. If u aren't #careful, #malicious #people may #steal #data, #control ur #phone by #installing #malware or #spyware without u #noticing #anything.

Set your #default #configuration when connecting to a port as "charging" instead of "media #transfer" etc. Again this is by default is $enabled as charging, but incase u changed it, better #revert it back as a #safe habit.
Incase u are #worried and still not #convinced with 1 & 2, just get a charging-only #cable, the usual cables have #capability to both charge and #data transfer. The charge-only cables can't be used to transfer data or do those #malicious things in public ports.

Attackers have advanced their #techniques for leveraging the "search-ms" uniform resource identifier (#URI) #protocol from #malicious #documents to direct users to websites that exploit #search-ms functionality using #JavaScript hosted on the page.

The search-ms protocol lets Windows users conduct search operations via a URI. Normally, it’s a #benign operation, but if combined with another vulnerability such as within #Windows documents, #attackers can potentially use it as a part of a broader #phishing or #malware campaign.

This attack requires #gaps at multiple layers of an organization’s defenses. First, properly leveraging email filters with URL rewriting and malicious content controls will limit the impact of a search-ms attack. Second, it relies on limited restrictions on outbound internet browsing — both at the firewall and internet proxy level. Once again, outbound controls are critical.

Let‘s block potential malicious domains with pihole. It‘s simple! Just create an domain regex like:

.\(wtf|zip|dance|cyou|top)($|[^\r\n\s]*|\s).*

You can add more TLDs if you want.

#pihole #dns #malware #malicious #hacker #internet #phishing

Users of #Chrome or #Chromium #browser should check their #extensions that could possibly carry #malicious code.
