We've all been there. The cell phone or the tablet is running out of batteries and you forgot the charger at home. It doesn't hurt if you borrow one from another passenger at the airport or at the hotel reception... “in 2019, this is a huge mistake”, say security experts [...]

“in 2019, this is a huge mistake”, cyber security experts say.

There's some things in life you can't borrow”, says Charles Henderson of Imputrey.

If you're on a trip and you suddenly realize you forgot your socks. I guess you wouldn't ask for a fellow traveler to borrow? You would go to a store and buy new” he says.

Henderson runs a team of hackers that clients hire to break their computer systems in order to detect weaknesses. Ever since hackers have found a way to implant virus chargers that can be “lost by” equipment and computers, his team uses a trick that teaches customers to become a little bit skeptical of other caricators.

Also, last week, at the Conference of hackers held in Las Vegas, a hacker named “MG” introduced an iPhone charger that modified it, writes scan.tv.

After connecting him to a computer, he went straight into his IP and took possession of it. The entrepreneur said there was a considerable number of such cartoonists selling the piece $200.
