In case of low battery in the mobile phone, most people start charging their phones in common places, public places (airports, hotels, train stations, etc.) but there are also some places where you must avoid charging. Should do.
Such charging stations and USB port devices help give criminals easy access to your phone, says James Goepel, Drizzle University professor and CEO of Fathom Cyber.
There are 5 places you should never use a public USB port to charge your phone.
Airport:
Airports have many charging stations where you can charge your mobile phone. You can’t trust an unknown person when you charge at such a place.
Train Station:
Charging ports are also installed at train stations, but there is a risk of stealing our sensitive mobile data. For example, a criminal could set up a free charging station in a train station. When people plug their phones into a USB port, their phones are charged but their sensitive data could be copied.
Hotels:
Hotels also have charging ports for users to charge their mobiles, charging mobiles in these ports is also not without risk because here also your personal data of your mobiles can be stolen and you can get dangerous software in your mobiles. Can install without telling.
Rent Cars:
You will find USB ports for charging in rent-a-cars these days too where customers charge their mobile while traveling but here you can forget about your mobile in the car. Note that mobile port charging from car battery can also damage your mobile as the power coming from car battery is not enough for mobile battery.
Libraries:
The library is considered a safe place but you should avoid charging your mobile here as well because your mobile may be out of your reach in the library and your mobile data is not safe.
