What's Juice Jacking: Beware Hackers Like To Use It!

YOGYAKARTA - Have you ever heard of a jacket? Is it a kind of juice that is on the market like fruit juice? Yes, no! Then, what is rope jacking?

As reported by the Dailysocial, it is said that quarantine jacking is a hacking procedure by modifying battery charging stations for work using USB or more commonly known as USB charging. USB charging is when we charge our device batteries using cables that we enter into USB ports. Why can that be?

Because the cable used can not only deliver electrical energy but also function as a data transferer. The simple illustration is that when we want to move the information contained in our device to the PC until the device we will connect it to the USB cable and of course we connect the cable to the pc. Not long after, there will be a notification at the pc if the latest features are found and we can access the feature to quickly move the information.

Jus jacking was originally known in 2011 2012 and was once the headline when the American national security agency ( NSA' National Security Agency) issued a valid warning for government employees so that they don't just recharge their work batteries, more for those on duty abroad or have to use someone else's computer.

The social experiment was tried by Autentic8 at a security meeting held at the San Francisco RSA. They installed a battery charging station at their booth and as a result, many visitors to the meeting used the battery charging station but unfortunately only a few of them asked whether the charging station was comfortable or not for their work.

How to avoid the practice ofjuice jackingi? The following are security measures summarized from various sources.

1. Always make sure your device battery is full before you start the activity.

2. Make sure to bring the spare battery.

3. Always carry the power bank filled when needed to charge the device battery.

4. If you are forced to charge the battery at the charging station, always turn off your device. Even though some dead device models can still be accessed internally.

5. Use a USB cable that only delivers power.

6. Avoid charging device batteries in public places that only provide USB ports to charge.

7. Get used to carrying your own chargers and cables so they can connect directly to the electric plug.

If needed, you can install additional applications on your device so that at least the safety of your devices will increase. Always be careful if you are in a public place, especially in an era of advanced technology like today. Don't have time to simply connect your device at your battery charging station via USB charging provided without recognizing the security of the charging station.
