Dan GoodinRemember those unwarranted warnings about juice jacking in airports from public phone charging kiosks at airports and other venues? The misinfo isn't just repeated by the FCC and other government agencies. Security snake oil companies like Osomprivacy (osomprivacy.com) also do it. This email promoting the completely unnecessary "privacy cable" even cites an article I wrote 2 months ago explaining why juice jacking is BS. When I pointed out to him that he was spreading misinfo, he only doubled down. I will be staying as far away from Osomprivacy as possible.
~@dangoodin would Ars's esteemed editors consider placing a note at the top of said cited article that Ars explicitly does not recommend products that claim to avert these attacks? Seems harmless since the article is pretty clear that this is nonsense anyway.
