FBI warns phone users against using free public charging stations

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:48:41 GMT

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a new warning against the use of free charging stations in public spaces, like airports or hotels. According to the agency, cyber criminals use a technique known as “juice jacking” to gain users’ personal devices through USB ports and charging cables.Juice jacking refers to loading malware onto public USB charging stations to maliciously access electronic devices while they are being charged, experts said. Malware installed through a “dirty” USB port can lock a device or export personal data directly to the offender. Hackers can use the information to access online accounts or sell them to bad actors.The FBI warns that these bad actors have become increasingly adept at disguising their malware and monitoring software to avoid detection. To protect against juice jacking, the FBI advises travelers to carry their own chargers and USB cords instead of relying on public charging stations. This way, they can en...

New shark-inspired robot can help tackle water pollution

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:48:41 GMT

LONDON (WSVN) — A new robot inspired by sharks that eat just about anything, is making waves in the fight against ocean pollution.The autonomous “Waste Shark” is designed to collect trash, debris, and biomass from the surface of city waters. Creator Richard Hardiman explained that the device measures water quality by analyzing parameters such as turbidity, salinity, temperature, PH balance, and water depth.London’s River Thames has a Waste Shark hard at work and is reportedly capable of clearing the equivalent of more than 22,000 plastic bottles a day. Data collected by the United Nations revealed 85% of marine litter is some form of plastic and predictions indicated that by 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean could outweigh all the fish.The Waste Shark’s ability to stop trash before it reaches the ocean could make a significant impact in reducing this pollution. According to Hardiman, the device can travel up to three miles before it needs to be r...
