Hey Chaddington Post fans, Chad here! I've got a shocking revelation for you this week. What if I told you that charging your phone at a public kiosk could put your sensitive data at risk? In this week's Insider Edition, we'll uncover the hidden dangers of "juice jacking" - a sneaky cybercrime that has worried both my mom and fiancé. It's time to spread the word and help you all stay protected. Let's dive in!

I have recorded an article voiceover above. Note: there are a couple of “skips” in the audio, and I will troubleshoot and resolve them. Thank you for your understanding and patience.😊 I am a one-person band here.

The Hidden Threat of Public Charging Kiosks

In a recent article, the FBI and FCC warned against using public charging kiosks due to the risk of cyber thieves installing malware and stealing your data. These criminals exploit the USB ports, installing malicious monitoring software on your devices. What they're after? Your sensitive data, especially banking info.

When both my mom and fiance called me in one day, worried about using a public charging station. I realized that if they were concerned, others might be too. So, I decided to do some research and share my findings with all of you.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Avoid using public charging kiosks at airports, hotels, and shopping centers.

• Charge your phone by plugging it into an electrical outlet, use a power bank, or invest in a charging-only cable.

• Stay cautious, even if the charging stations claim to be secure.
