The TSA cautions travelers against using public USB charging stations, which can be manipulated by hackers to install malware on devices through a practice known as 'juice jacking.' Instead, the TSA recommends carrying a personal power bank or battery pack for safe device charging. Additionally, the agency warns about the risks associated with free public WiFi, advising against entering sensitive information while connected to unsecured networks, and suggesting the use of cellular data or a VPN for security.
In a Facebook post, the TSA warns that those stations are prime hunting spots for data and identity thieves, thanks to a practice called 'juice jacking.'
