Your 3-Step Safe Charging Plan:

USE A WALL OUTLET, NOT A USB PORT. Carry your own AC charger and plug into a standard power socket. It’s safe—electricity only, no data.

CARRY A “USB DATA BLOCKER.” This cheap adapter goes between a public cable and your phone. It blocks data transfer and allows only power.

AS A LAST RESORT, POWER OFF. If you must use a suspicious USB port, turn your phone completely OFF before plugging in to prevent data theft
