Today's #securityHygiene post: Public charging stations.
I know you. Your plane is delayed, you're sitting in the terminal, tooting, watching netflix, reading the news, whatever... your battery warning pops up, you have about 10 more minutes before your phone dies and at least an hour before your plane gets there. But wait, there's a free charging station right over there!
Don't use it! The wires that send power can also send data; malicious data. Use your own power.

@0x56 Which is why I carry a monster sized battery with me. Also have a charger can plug into a regular electrical outlet. I see folks all the time plugging in to those free stations and just cringe!
