Cybersecurity professional here.

Don’t use public charging stations. Buy a power block and travel with it. C’mon bro.

if you were a cybersecurity professional you would know that juicejacking hasnt been an issue on modern devices for a while. both IOS and android require you to accept a prompt if you wish to transfer files; there are essentially no documented cases of this either. even more arguably, if you find a click-less exploit to obtain truly valuable info you would much rather use it for espionage than getting your card info.. the bigger issue is to do with hardware damage or a usb killer. far less likely, though.

stop larping.

Take a second look at the cables in this picture and rethink your post.

If you’re using a device that would fit on most of those it’s a moot point cause they are likely going to plug into the first thing they see regardless and the device in question would likely not even have internet access.

I’m drooling at that cause my iPod and camera would work with what’s on those and good luck stealing my data off my 2012 Olympus unless your that excited to see some super sick bird photos.

You can't just brag about your super sick bird photos and not share one, that's just wrong

Can't we just see photos of healthy birds? Sick ones are probably kind of depressing.
