Juice Jacking uses the dual functionality of USB ports for charging and data transfer. Attackers can impersonate charging stations or provide infected ports, compromising user data without their knowledge. To reduce this risk, experts recommend carrying personal chargers, using cables that prevent data transfer, or staying away from such chargers.
