More than 566 million cases of data leakage through public phone charging stations have been detected since 2018 up to today, according to IBM. Some cities’ district attorneys already warn travelers to avoid public USB chargers and free charging appliances. Today cybersecurity is extra important, as we have all of our important info stored in our phones, including documents, money, and personal information.
Many travelers know that at the airport you can always find a place to charge your phone. But a few minutes at the public charging station can flip your life upside down and cause big problems — these hacking cases have become so frequent, that there’s even a special word for it — juice jacking. There are just a few simple rules to follow if you want to stay on the safe side.
USB charging stations can be easily hacked.
Charles Henderson, the Global Head of IBM’s X-Force Red, shared that cybercriminals hack public charging stations by modifying those USB cables and installing malware on your phone, or downloading data without you knowing about it. He also pointed out that there are some things you don’t share — for example, you don’t use someone else’s underwear if you forget yours, and you should do the same thing with cables.
Charge your phone only through a power outlet or via a charged-at-home power bank.
As many people know, USB cables are not only used for charging, but also for data transferring, and hackers take advantage of this. So, it’s better to use a power outlet — it’s not as convenient because they are often close to the floor, but it’s much safer — you can’t steal data through a power outlet. And the best solution is to carry your own power bank.
Don’t use other people’s cables and don’t pick a cable up if someone left it in a public space.
Also never use accessories that were found or given to you by a stranger for charging — they can have a chip that transfers malware to the phone, which scammers will charge you money to get rid of.
If you urgently need to charge your phone, connect the power bank to the public station and then connect your phone to the power bank.
The infrastructure of public spaces is basically safe, but hackers often install fake USB charging sockets, similar to the way people hack ATMs. A few years ago, at the cybersecurity conference DEFCON, there were free charging stations, and when participants used them, they would get a pop-up on their device that said never use public charging stations, especially at a hacker’s conference.
If you don`t have an outlet plug adapter, but you have a power bank, you can plug it into the public charging USB socket, and then connect the phone to the power bank, so there’s no direct connection. Then data transfer will be basically impossible.
You can use juice-jack defenders in unsafe charging situations via USB.
There are ways to be on the safer side, if connecting to the public stations is inevitable. You can purchase a special adapter that can be inserted into the charging cord and that’ll cut the transmission of data through it. But it still doesn’t give you a 100% safe guarantee against hacker’s attacks.

It’s nearly impossible to think about a certain female celebrity without imagining her makeup. Many of them even have their own signature looks like Kylie Jenner’s overlined matte lips or Lady Gaga’s extravagant eye makeup. That’s why it’s a nice change of pace whenever they flaunt their bare faces on social media and remind us they’re human after all. And in most cases, it’s the lack of makeup that brings a smile to our faces and makes us like them that much more.

A recent study showed that dogs really do listen to what we’re saying to them. However, this doesn’t mean that they will always obey our demands. Our furry friends love to play pranks on us as their owners and some dogs may even have more quirks than cats.
We at Bright Side believe that dogs are smart and quick-thinking creatures. But they have so much energy that, when they overdo it, it sometimes brings a little bit of chaos into our lives.
While his owner was asleep, this dog went to the police department and turned into a local star.
In the middle of the night, a dog ran a mile to go chat with local policemen in Texas. Police officers were surprised when Chico came to visit them on February 11th. They played with him, but were worried when the dog ran away from them so quickly. This smart dog returned back home before his owner woke up, so he had no idea about the nighttime adventures of his pet. However, he found out when internet users posted Chico’s story on social networks.
This dog took the ball away from some Turkish soccer players during a game.
“I invited my dog’s best friend over so they could keep each other company while I was at work. They had a great time.”

“Our dog’s new favorite toy is the knit blanket I spent over 2 weeks making.”
When you come home because you forgot something and see this:

Pure moments of love create lasting memories that we carry throughout our entire lives. And when life gets tough, it’s those times that give us hope for better days. But the thing about memories is that they fade with time, that is unless you have the perfect timing to take an everlasting snap of those rare moments of true love.
We at Bright Side truly believe that love is the glue that binds us all together, and we chose 15 of the best images to show you that love is the only universal language that all of us connect to.
1. “My brother has Down syndrome. My wife and I let him hold our baby today and here is his look when we gave her to him.”
2. Grandma had surgery on her wrist and couldn’t do her own hair, so my grandpa did it for her.
3. Love is everything.
4. “My grandma, 96, with my grandpa, 100, hours before her death this weekend. 77 years of marriage.”

14. “My parents just celebrated their anniversary. This is what love looks like 54 years later.”

brightside--2020-03-19--15 Users Reveal the True Meaning of Some Tattoos in Chinese and Japanese

• I don ’ t speak Japanese or Chinese , but I once had an Art Academy colleague who had 2 kanjis tattooed on each of her shoulders .
She believed they meant “ eternal happiness ” or something because she saw them in a book at a flea market .
I copied the kanjis on a piece of paper and translated them on Google .
They roughly translated to “ foot fungus.
” Ew .
© dravazay • A friend of mine had a tattoo he thought said “ faith ” but in reality it said “ soup.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the characters for “ Big ” and “ Father ” and figured it was like , an approximation of Big Daddy .
The guy got really agitated at me and told me it was Chinese for “ eternal wealth.
” © breadtanglewrangler • I don ’ t know if this is stupid or brilliant , but someone had ＂您有小龍湯圓嗎？ '' which is a respectful way of asking whether someone has soup dumplings .
I thought it was really stupid until someone said that they must really like soup dumplings ... © 1n1billionAZNsay • @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tattoo parlor , she sent me a pic of a customer ’ s tattoo asking what it said .
The customer said that it meant “ Inner Power.
” The word was ハンバーガー ( pronounced hanbaga ) , in English this means “ hamburger.
” My sister chose to not tell her , as it would ’ ve definitely ruined her day .

It’s common that, when getting a tattoo, people pick a design in a language other than their own to make it even more special. However, it also happens that if the person doesn’t speak that language, they may end up with something unexpected tattooed forever on their body. Two of the most used languages used for tattoos are Japanese and Chinese. That’s why a Reddit user asked people who spoke those languages to translate the meaning of some tattoos and share stories related to this phenomenon.

It’s normal to worry about your child when they’re not feeling well. But the important part is to assess their symptoms and conclude whether they’re truly unhealthy, or just a sign of something benign. To dispel your worries, doctors have something to say about the symptoms that your children show.
Here at Bright Side, we rounded up some of the most common health issues in children and asked doctors what they thought about them. Here’s what we found.
1. Vomiting
This is a symptom that happens often, but most of the time has nothing to do with any serious issues. Your child probably either ate too much or they’re fighting an infection. Parents tend to panic, but while it’s messy and scary, it’s not a big problem. Doctors can’t do much about it and they usually recommend that you keep your child hydrated, ensure that they have enough fresh air, and that they have something warm on their belly.
2. Stuffy nose
A stuffy nose is another problem that happens often. Children get around 6 to 8 cases of upper respiratory infections per year on average. However, parents get scared when their baby or a younger child gets a stuffy nose since it makes their breathing harder, especially at night. Doctors remind us that something like this can be treated easily at home. They recommend using saline drops and a bulb to suck the mucous out.
3. Stomachaches
Stomachaches are a common occurrence too and usually happen when a child overeats or consumes food that’s not good for their stomach. While it may be frightening, it doesn’t require a doctor’s attention as long as it doesn’t stop your kid from acting normally. Some new research states that younger children may say that they have a stomachache when they’re actually feeling stressed or anxious, so it would be a good idea to talk to them.
4. Diarrhea
Stomach bugs happen a lot and diarrhea often comes along with that. It’s not fun and parents and kids both hate it but it doesn’t warrant a visit to the doctor. The important thing, as doctors state, is to keep your children hydrated and on a diet of bland food. That can include bananas, apples, bread, etc. Keep their tummies warm and don’t worry, even if it lasts for a few days. As long as they’re hydrated, they’ll be okay.
5. Headaches
Headaches happen to children as much as they happen to adults. But it’s often not a result of something serious. As doctors state, it’s usually a consequence of your child forgetting to drink water, jumping too much, or stressing over homework. To help them, make sure that they drink some water and that they have a chance to relax. Doctors always recommend rest when kids have headaches.
6. Fever
Fevers are a sign of something else going on with your child. It could be teething, a stomach bug, or a common cold. The severity of the situation depends on the temperature. If it doesn’t go over 102 degrees, you can treat it at home. Doctors say that it’s important for parents to remember that fevers are just part of the body’s defense system and it’s not serious in most cases.
7. Lethargy
Something that frequently alarms parents is when their children act differently — especially when they’re lacking energy. But doctors have a simple explanation for this: your child is probably just growing. When they go through a growth spurt, they can sleep more and feel lazy. As long as they don’t behave like that for a prolonged period of time and they still have happy, energetic periods in between, it’s completely normal.
8. A bruise
Kids often fall and get bruises — it’s a consequence of rough play. Doctors say that it’s nothing to worry about as long as it’s not extreme. Treatments are not necessary as bruises often go away in a few days.
9. Sleeping more
Parents are aware that their children need more sleep than they do, however, they’re not sure how much more. Doctors claim that toddlers between the ages of 1 and 2 need around 11-14 hours of sleep along with some naps during the day. However, children between the ages of 3 and 5 will sleep for about 13-14 hours during the night with no naps during the day. This is what sometimes worries parents, but it’s completely normal.
10. Sore throat
A sore throat is painful, but not a cause for worry in most cases. It’s usually a symptom of a cold, flu, or a virus and will pass within 10 days. Warm peppermint tea or a lozenge could help your little one’s throat feel better sooner.
11. Cough
Coughs are another example of something that sounds scary but usually isn’t serious. It’s a common symptom of a virus and antibiotics aren’t necessary. Doctors recommend applying home remedies and avoiding foods and drinks that could put extra stress on the throat.
12. Rash
In babies and younger children, rashes are a common occurrence. Diaper rashes and face rashes are harmless and can be treated at home. According to doctors, you have to make sure that your child’s diapers are dry most of the time, that their hands are clean, and that their skin is protected. A visit to the doctor is not necessary unless the rash causes pain.
13. Constipation
Similar to diarrhea and stomachaches, constipation can happen because of something your child ate that didn’t agree with them. Doctors recommend drinking fluids and waiting it out for up to 7 days. After that, you should visit your doctor to see if there’s anything that could help your child.
