I would like to share a tech charging safety tip with you. Using public charging points puts you at risk of getting your personal information stolen. Cybersecurity experts state that there are two primary methods of “jacking” that target people who utilize public USB ports. The first method is “juice jacking”— this is where criminals load malicious malware onto public charging stations to steal information from devices while they are plugged in. Stolen information may include account credentials or even financial information. The second method is “video jacking”— where hidden equipment in a compromised charging point records footage of everything taking place on a device while it’s charging. Recordings may include people entering their passwords or writing emails. It is best if you can avoid public USB charging ports altogether and carry a personal charger and USB cord to be used in an electrical outlet instead.
It seems like the following joke ticks all the giggle boxes, so we’d better check it out. It’s entitled, “You Can Be Anything.”
A three-year-old boy was hugging his mom before going to bed.
“Mom, I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.”
“You can be anything you want to be, sweetie.”
“I think I’ll be a mom.”
?!
