CNBC released an article this week sharing a message shared by the FBI Denver office online. In this recent tweet, they stated:
"Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or
shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways
to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring
software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and
use an electrical outlet instead."
