Never plug your phone or laptop into public USB ports here’s why 👇🏼

A USB port doesn’t just give power, it can transfer data

A compromised charging point could install malware or copy your info without you knowing

Use a wall plug instead: it only delivers power, not data!
A bank of electric sockets and USB charges - it is recommended to use electric plugs in public locations as opposed to the USB option, which could be compromised and take data from your device or send malware into it.
