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.

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!
