## Resource

That USB port on the plane or in your car? It's not just a power outlet, it's a computer. And every time you plug in, you're potentially handing it a two-way connection to your phone: power going in, and your data going out. In this video, I break down why plugging your phone into random USB ports can be risky, how attackers can use these connections to steal data or install malware ("juice jacking"), and how a cheap little gadget called a USB data blocker protects you. 00:00 USB Raw Dogging 01:08 Why You Shouldn’t Plug Into Unknown Ports 03:21 Risk of Unintended Data Transfer 05:22 What Is A USB Data Blocker 05:56 How Does it Work 08:44 The Exchange Relying on being perfectly patched and attentive at all times is a bad strategy, especially when you can instead just block the data path and move on for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
