Juice Jacking
Juice jacking is a cyberattack technique warned against by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) where cybercriminals use malware-laden charging stations to steal sensitive information from devices such as smartphones and laptops. This scam typically takes place in public areas with free charging stations, like airports, railway stations, and crowded places. The RBI advises the public to avoid using public charging stations, carry personal power banks, avoid public Wi-Fi, keep their devices updated, and use malware detection apps to safeguard against these attacks. This alert aims to raise awareness among the public about the risks of juice jacking and to encourage preventative measures to protect personal and financial information.
