>> WITH SUMMER TRAVEL COMING UP, AIR TRAVELERS HAVE A LOT TO THINK ABOUT FROM PACK IN THE MAKING THEIR FLIGHTS AND NOW SCAMMERS. THIS IS A WILD ONE. THIS IS A NEW WARNING.
NOW ABOUT JUICE JACKING. SO CROOKS ARE ACTUALLY USING IT TO TARGET YOUR PHONES AT THE AIRPORTS. HERE'S ABC, 15 INVESTIGATOR JOE DUCEY WITH HOW THIS WORKS.
>> SOMETIMES YOU HEAR A WARNING OVER THE AIRPORT'S PA SYSTEM. DON'T LEAVE ANY BAGS UNATTENDED. WELL, MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER BE AWARE OF THE PHONE CHARGING STATION.
>> BETWEEN FLIGHT DELAYS, LONG LAYOVERS. WE DRAIN THE BATTERIES ON OUR DEVICES. MOST AIRPORTS NOW HAVE FREE CHARGING AREAS AND USB PORTS UNDER SEATS IN WAITING AREAS
JUST TO PLUG IN. THE FBI SAYS THE WHERE THE DENVER OFFICE IS WARNING THAT YOU COULD BE A VICTIM OF JUICE JACKING TELLING PEOPLE TO AVOID FREE CHARGING STATIONS AT AIRPORTS,
HOTELS AND SHOPPING CENTERS.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. A SCAMMER PUTS MALL WHERE MONITORING SOFTWARE INTO A PUBLIC USB PORT THAT GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO STEAL DATA PASSWORDS, ADDRESSES, BANKING
INFORMATION OF A PHONE WHEN IT PLUGS IN VICTIMS COULD EVEN HAVE THEIR PHONE LOCKED THROUGH THE SOFTWARE. A SPOKESPERSON FOR SKY HARBOR TELLS US THEY REGULARLY
MAINTAINED CHARGING STATIONS AND REMOVING THE CABLES AND CORDS LEFT BEHIND THAT COULD SO PROTECT YOURSELF, CARRY YOUR OWN CHARGER AND USB CORD.
THEY DOCTORS CAN. COBURN SAYS IF YOU MUST USE PUBLIC USB PORTS, USE A CORD THAT CAN ONLY BE USED FOR CHARGES THAT CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER DEVICES. AND WHEN CHARGING
KEEP YOUR PHONE OFF, SCAMMERS CANNOT MANIPULATE IT THAT WAY.
