Why No One Should Use Airport USB Charging Stations

[@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL]

How often do you usually have to charge your phone?

[@poppy-spades]

I don't really use it too often or do mobile gaming on the go, so the battery typically lasts me just enough for an entire day

[@MichaelE6300]

Too often. Usually it will hold out a day without heavy usage. But at the end of the day the battery is definitive under 40 %... Urgh! Typical Samsung Bug.../Software... But I am also not dependend / addicted to the phone luckily, I don't even game on it.

with ur phone off, its still can recieve and download data, for example flashing a kernel or a rom, required the phone to switched off, before connecting the usb , with the required usb driver for your phone installed, then the phone will boot into factory / fastboot mode.. so, its not impossible, the attacker still can send a data to awaken your phone while its turned off.. but in case of flashing, 😂😂😂 your phone is erased .. 🤣🤣🤣 its safer to use non data usb cable..

A power only cable can solve this problem by not including the pin on the usb that allows for data transfer. If you rip open a common wire you can see 4 different colors: green, white, red, and black. Red and black are positive (+) and negative (-). That’s all you need to charge your phone. In theory a cable without green specifically (I don’t know what white is for) would protect your device from any kind of data transfer or theft.

You can get power only cable. Or you cut the data line in the cable. Wireless charging

[@hozongxi]

An USB port has 4 pins, 2 of which transfer data and the other two are the 5v and GND pins supplying power. In public USB charging ports, the data pins do not have a connection because even if they had, where would they connect to anyway? Hence, they only supply the power to the mobile device for charging and would not be able to take any data from the device (basically the same logic as for the power bank as only the 5v and GND pins are connected to the li-ion battery pack) UNLESS someone disassembles the entire socket and is able to fit a file extracting device small enough which is going to be very difficult and extremely obvious to the airport staff or even other people. So, feel free to charge your phone through public USB Ports. If you're really worried just go get an old cable, open the casing on either side and snip off the data cables (google for diagrams) and you shall be safe.

If I had to go on a long flight, I'd take a few power banks with me. They last long.

[@MNaz-yy8bn]

What if you charge all your power banks and is told that you cannot bring them with you?what will you do?

[@Ruben-qv3ls]

M. Naz you have to take all batteries or power banks on your hand luggage it’s a law or something

[@lillyofthevalley208]

@@Ruben-qv3ls I'd take it in my hand luggage, for sure!

@@lillyofthevalley208 It needs to be a powerbank that is FAA approved and you would need special permission from the aircompany you fly with to bring more then one ... Unfortunately we have seen some batteries catch on fire and even explode. Which is why those are not allowed to travel within the cargo hold. Since after an onboard fire caused the fatal crash of UPS Airlines Flight 6 in 2010. Many more cases are known so there is good reason for it.

[@RamDhirajPenaka]

Can’t we just switch off the device when charging? Not so bright side video.

[@seka1986]

Ram you freakin genius.

Yes it can be hacked even after switching off your phone as static current is present. This experiment was proven by a German hacker at the live hacking conference in 2015

[@TheTehkman]

I thought the usb charging docks at the airport are charging only they only supply power no data transfer Also when a usb is plugged in the phone asks what mode u want to connect like file transfer etc... use charge only.

[@ethanpoole3443]

I can’t speak as to Android devices, but most iOS devices I’ve tried in the past revert to USB 1.1 specs when switched off (I’ve not tested the very latest devices, however), so charging while powered off will be limited to around 400-500mA (2.0 to 2.5 watts) so you’ll have to be very patient waiting for your phone or tablet to actually charge. On the other hand, this behavior does at least permit charging from otherwise inadequate power sources that are incompatible with fast charging, but it’s so slow as to be maddening when you could be charging 4-5 times faster while powered on. So the other options are much more practical. I ordinarily use either a 6Ah (pocket size) or 15Ah power bank for my phone and tablet and that is usually more than enough to get through even a very busy 24 hours without further charging.

Me: Plugs usb killer into usb hub at the airport, and simultaneously cause the hub to stop working and the ground crews headset charger plugged into the same outlet. Ground Crew: Wait that's Illegal Hacker: Wait that's Illegal Security: He's got a bomb

[@ben3583]

As a phone technician the best solution: would be to use a charging only USB cable meaning that you can only charge your phone without any data capability what so ever no matter what it is connected to

[@CRman734]

The real reason you shouldn’t use them: they never work because they’re always so worn out!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Not new ones.

[@iseeyotoes6739]

Portable chargers are a thing so people need to get that

[@Rahstylesdotcom]

How the he'll you going to put a hard drive behind the wall at the airport?

[@ErickWright]

You're going to need a buzzsaw brackets wiring harness some screws and maybe a uniform a fake one that says maintenance guy for the airport but you're really a cybercriminal installing a hard drive behind the USB port

[@trentbergin3776]

Micro SD card? And this is basically the idea of a card skimmer on an ATM but for phone data and while ATM skimmers used to use micro SD or something similar that really isn’t used anymore and now they typically have just a SIM card in them and transfer data real time because the riskiest part was going back for the data you farmed but easy enough now to just use cellular

[@omsingharjit]

But what if anyone disable D + and D- wires of usb and just use 5v and Gnd connection for charging only !

[@YourMom-qw7vr]

Have fun hacking my Bluetooth headphones lol...

[@muzammilrahut8499]

No need to worry. Just switch off your phone and keep charging

[@SepticFuddy]

Unless you have an MTK device, in which case your ROM could be flashed

[@AndroidX1X]

Lol iq 10k

[@MNaz-yy8bn]

And still risking your phone to unsafe wiring of the charging ports and see your phone on fire. Brilliant idea!

[@flowerofash4439]

there is no such thing as switched off smartphone, especially if you plug it into usb.

[@Teddybear46324]

Don't most androids have a charge only setting that pops up when their plugged into a data transfer capable device?

[@sharafr]

charge the powerbank at the airport and then the phone on the go 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AlexTheTech]

just maybe, JUST maybe, they're power outlets, not data outlets

[@clubgamerstudios9945]

Tips for people with androids. Go to your androids build number and tap on it until it gives u developer options. Insert your passcode and then go to general settings. Expand your settings and select developer options. Scroll down and you should see the option for USB debugging. Turn it on and then ur good to go.
