Juice Jacking

Juice Jacking Debunked, Photographer vs. AI Dataset, Google Authenticator Risks

Play episode

In this episode we debunk the fearmongering surrounding “juice jacking,” a cyber attack where attackers steal data from devices that are charging via USB ports.

Next, we dive into a case where a photographer tried to get his photos removed from an AI dataset, only to receive an invoice instead of having his photos taken down.

Finally, we examine the security risks of using Google Authenticator’s cloud sync feature for two-factor authentication. We explain why this feature may not provide adequate protection and offer recommendations for more secure alternatives.
