DataBlock has launched its latest product that will prevent data theft from smart devices while allowing powering up at charging stations.
Coined back in 2011, Juice Jacking is a cyber-attack that commonly involves the installation of malware on to smartphones when inserting them into a USB charging terminal. This malware subsequently copies all the data stored on that device.
The technology used to compromise a public USB charging point is easily available and therefore puts many of its users at risk.
DataBlock is a USB connection that, when added to a charger, will prevent private information and data from being stolen by a third party.
