The quoted tweet ends in “hackers are using USB charging stations in airports” and there I would say: yes, they are :)

They are placing malicious device charging stations in facilities that are the most heavily monitored besides casinos? Given this is from the DA’s office, I’m sure there are some cases they are prosecuting that informed this advice? I suspect a PoC demo got misinterpreted.

But Dino, the hackers, they’re everywhere

They are not though. This is part of a general stoking of fear, even when the threats are not material enough to warrant it. E.g. even though violent crime is historically low, we fear it more today than we did back when it was higher. No good changes come from irrational fear.

Agreed. Seen a lot of articles about this happening, but no citation as to any specific incidents.

It all seems to come from the LA DA’s office putting out a warning a few months ago. If it were real, the DA would be prosecuting cases related to it and the dockets would be available. Therefore, I think it’s responding to research. Maybe BadUSB cables, 2011 juice jacking, etc.

Walk slowly away from the juice jacker...

Thanks. I've seen the same reports everyone has - do you have a link to a good debunking?
-
It'd be hard to debunk I assume. No cases are known of this actually happening. But since it is possible in theory, how would you debunk it? All we can do is say it takes effort to scale to more than a single phone/kernel version and implement stealthily.
