Sigh. Let's see if y'all can play along at home:
The FCC and the FBI's Denver field office are both warning people to beware of Juice Jacking attacks at airports and other public places. Both cite "cybersecurity experts."
https://www.fcc.gov/juice-jacking-dangers-public-usb-charging-stations
An FBI spox told me the Denver field office warning was reporting information from the FCC. An FCC spox said its information came from a 2019 NYT article, but that the agency has received consumer complaints of juice jacking.The NYT article cited a warning from the LA DA's office. The DA's post was taken down in December 2021, a couple weeks after @zackwhittaker reported DA officials had no cases and could point to no cases of it happening.
Even though the the LA DA's warning was depublished ~18 months ago and the FCC spox can't name a single cybersecurity expert issuing such warnings, there are no plans to correct the post and no mechanism for the public to challenge the warning.
