"Airport Charging Ports: A Scary Risk for Travelers"

TL;DR Summary

The FBI has issued a warning about this threat, and the FCC explained how hackers can load malware onto public charging stations to access electronic devices. The recommendation is to use battery packs or power-only USB cables instead. While some viewers appreciated the advice, others expressed frustration over the inconvenience of this security risk.
