    Oath to I.T.: USB Condom

     

    Oath to IT      

     

    USB Condom!

     

    Sorry for bringing you in here thinking you can recharge a condom via USB, that was evil of me. But hey! good titles brings readers.

    Anyhow, it is actually about a product called "USB condom".

     

    For everyone on a traveling foot those few USB ports can be a lifesaver to charge your phone or device, although few knows about the risk involved in this.

    The USB can be "attacked" by something known as Juice Jacking where a malevolent unit steals all your info while you charge your phone. This problem have been solved by some smart guys as Int3.cc with a "simple" trick.


    The little adapter device has cleverly been named "USB Condom" and as said, is a little adapter that blocks the pins that can transfer information. The battery can still be charged, however no info can be transferred due to the fact that the pins are physically removed from the plugged unit. This way there is no way of stealing any info that can be used to your disadvantage.


    *A charging kiosks inside. Prepped to steal data of anyone charging their phone

    The USB condom is $9.99 and can be ordered through their website. But if you feel that you do not want to spend money but still be safe, there is one more way. Make your phone go completely out of juice, so you can't even start it. Then you can charge safely due to the info transfers in your phone will not be turned on (Shutting your phone down won't work, they are still in "sleep mode")

     

    3 Fast Short news!

     

    1. GTA V earned ~$800.000.000 in 24 hours

    2. Playstation Vita TV might come to Europe and USA

    3. You can't put Xbox One vertically. Microsoft says: "It does not support vertical orientation. [...] we just didn't design the drive for vertical. Because it's a slot loading drive, we just didn't design it for both.[...] Do it at your own risk"
