Whenever we have to catch a flight, we are often in a hurry. Even if you somehow reach the airport, a lot of time is spent in check-in and security checks. While passing through these queues, we keep scrolling the phone for hours without thinking. Keep watching videos. Stay busy on social media. Suddenly it is known that the battery of the phone is gone. We find a safe place to charge and start charging. But think if you are not making a mistake. The American agency has given strange advice to the people and said, do not charge the phone at the airport if it is not very important. Because hackers are waiting for you.
A post was shared from the official Twitter account of FBI Denver (@FBIDenver) which went viral. It states that avoid using free charging stations at airports, hotels or shopping centres. Hackers have found this safe way to load virus in your phone. Cyber criminals leave infected USB cables in the hope that someone can use them. They are fitting malware and surveillance software into these places. You can become a victim as soon as you plug your USB port into it.
Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead. pic.twitter.com/9T62SYen9T
