The warnings of "juice jacking" - a cyberattack that can hack your phone when you plug it into a public charging station - have been circulating for more than a decade.

There are no documented cases of juice jacking ever taking place in the wild. Modern iPhones and Android devices require users to click through an explicit warning before they can exchange files with a device connected by standard cables.
