Juice jacking is a cyberattack where hackers use compromised USB ports at public charging stations to steal data or install malware on your device. When you plug your phone into an infected USB port, hackers can access your photos, passwords, banking apps, emails, messages, and all personal data stored on your device.
The FBI has issued warnings about this threat, particularly at airports, hotels, and other public charging locations.
While exact statistics are hard to verify, security researchers have demonstrated how easy it is to compromise public USB ports. The FBI and FCC have both warned travelers about the risks. With billions of people using public charging stations, the threat is real and growing.
Public USB charging stations in high-traffic areas are most vulnerable:
No. Standard wall outlets (AC power) only provide electricity. Juice jacking specifically targets USB ports because they carry both power AND data. Using a wall outlet with your own AC adapter is safe.
A data blocker cable physically disconnects the data pins (D+ and D-) in the USB connection while keeping the power pins (VCC and GND) active. This allows electricity to flow for charging but prevents any data transfer between your device and the USB port.
Freedom Cable takes this further with a physical switch — you control when data flows and when it's blocked.
Most data blockers are separate dongles that require carrying an extra device, are easy to lose, and always block data. Freedom Cable is the world's first switchable data blocker cable:
No. Freedom Cable supports up to 60W Power Delivery (USB-C to C model) and fast charging (USB-A to C model). Charging speed is identical to a regular cable because power pins remain fully connected.
Yes! Simply flip the switch UP (LED turns green) and you have full data transfer capability at 480 Mbps. Use it at home or office for file transfers, then switch to secure mode when traveling.
USB-C to USB-C model: iPhone 15/16, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, iPad Pro, MacBook, and any USB-C device
USB-A to USB-C model: Same devices, but connects to traditional USB-A ports (most public charging stations)
Physical switch position also confirms: DOWN = secure, UP = transfer.
3 feet (0.9 meters) — the perfect length for travel without excess cable.
Military-grade braided nylon construction, tested to 20,000+ bends. Reinforced connectors and premium materials ensure long-lasting reliability for frequent travelers.
