Review on Enhanced PortaPow USB Data Blocker (Red 2 Pack) - Safeguard against Juice Jacking by Mark Marcellus

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Potentially Dangerous Trick

They claim the lack of wired data connections means you can visually see it's secure. Unfortunately, there are wired data connections on the one hand, but not on the other. Although this means that your phone cannot communicate with the device that the adapter is connected to, your phone can still communicate with the adapter. find, but this adapter may have a tiny chip masquerading as an input device and doing exactly what it's supposed to protect you from. Look for Seytonic Evolution Of The BadUSB for information. The adapter also has no stamp indicating where it was made. Even if they assemble it in the UK, the parts bought overseas could be compromised without their knowledge. This is the 3rd generation. Maybe in the 4th gen they can get it right and have no data connection on either side of the device.
