00:00 Now, many public places, including airports,
00:03 provide free Wi-Fi wireless network.
00:05 Although it is more convenient,
00:07 experts have also reminded that
00:09 connecting your mobile phone to a public place
00:11 is very risky.
00:12 It is equivalent to exposing your own personal safety
00:17 to great danger.
00:18 Recently, the British Daily Mail
00:20 quoted a local hair-clip manufacturer's
00:23 statement.
00:24 In addition to being careful,
00:25 do not casually connect to a public place
00:26 for free Wi-Fi.
00:27 When you arrive at the airport, they also remind you
00:30 not to use the USB plug in the airport
00:34 to charge your mobile phone.
00:35 Because you are very likely to open the
00:39 related loopholes for hackers to hack your mobile phone.
00:42 Why is it specifically indicated that
00:43 do not use USB plugs in the airport
00:47 instead of ordinary plugs?
00:49 There are three reasons.
00:50 First, according to the report,
00:51 the plug manufacturer said
00:53 that the USB charger plug in the airport or public place
00:57 is easily tampered with
00:59 because it has been exposed for a long time.
01:01 For example, the airport is so big,
01:03 how do you monitor
01:04 whether someone has put malicious software
01:07 into the USB plug?
01:09 So when you are not alert,
01:11 you can directly plug the mobile phone's charging cable
01:14 into the airport's USB plug to charge.
01:17 At this time, hackers may be able to
01:19 secretly steal your mobile phone's money,
01:22 but you will not notice it at all.
01:24 In fact, this is not the first time
01:26 that experts have reminded this.
01:27 In the early days, the FBI of the FBI
01:30 also called on people to avoid using
01:32 free charging stations provided by airports, hotels,
01:34 and even shopping centers
01:37 to charge their mobile phones.
01:39 Because the criminals have long found
01:41 ways to hack your mobile phone
01:43 by using free
01:45 to lure you into this charging trap.
01:49 The report describes that
01:49 hackers use USB charging ports
01:52 to steal sensitive data from mobile phones,
01:53 even laptops,
01:56 and send it to the criminals.
01:58 Or they will maliciously
02:00 plug the password into your mobile phone.
02:02 They can even use these steps
02:04 to lock your mobile phone.
02:07 So what happens next?
02:09 Yes, it's data leakage.
02:11 This is because when we plug the USB charging cable
02:15 into the USB power plug in the public place,
02:19 on the one hand, your mobile phone is indeed charging,
02:22 but at the same time, the hacker is also secretly
02:25 transmitting data through this cable
02:28 and stealing important information from your mobile phone.
02:31 The report also reminds us that
02:32 when the USB charging cable is plugged into the charging plug,
02:37 it will always pop up on your mobile phone
02:38 a button that asks you to choose
02:40 whether to charge or transmit data.
02:43 But experts say that
02:44 the USB plug in the public place
02:46 will skip this anti-theft function,
02:48 which makes the risk of data leakage very high.
02:51 Of course, we are talking about the safety concerns
02:53 raised by some experts.
02:55 Although it is relatively rare to see
02:57 data leakage or fraud cases
02:59 directly related to the USB power plug in the public place,
03:02 it does not mean 100% safety.
03:07 The report also reminds you that
03:10 when you go out,
03:11 it is better to carry your own mobile power supply
03:14 or borrow power from your trusted friend
03:16 to help charge your mobile phone.
03:17 If you have no choice but to use
03:19 the public charging plug to charge,
03:22 then you must ensure that
03:24 the data transmission function of your mobile phone
03:26 is already off.
