[Krebs on Security] Gear to Block 'Juice Jacking' on Your Mobile

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.

Ever since I learned about the threat of "juice-jacking" -- the possibility that
plugging your mobile device into a random power charging station using a USB
cord could jeopardize the data on that device -- I've been more mindful about
bringing a proper power-outlet charging adapter on my travels. But in the few
cases when I forgot or misplaced the adapter, I've found myself falling back on
one of two devices I'll review today that are both designed to block USB
charging cords from transmitting data.
