Caleb Barlow, vice-president of X-Force Threat Intelligence at IBM Security, says these stations can be modified by cybercriminals to install malware on your phone or download information without your knowledge.

Speaking to Forbes, Mr Barlow said these ports could act like a passageway from your device to the charging station.

"Plugging into a public USB port is kind of like finding a toothbrush on the side of the road and deciding to stick it in your mouth," he said. "You have no idea where that thing has been."

Barlow在接受《福布斯》采访时表示，这些端口可以充当你的设备与充电站之间的通道。 “插入公共USB接口就像在路边发现一把牙刷，然后决定把它放进嘴里。你根本不知道那东西曾经去过哪儿。”

Port：港口，口岸；（计算机的）端口；舱门

According to new research from the IBN X-FORCE survey, the transportation industry has became the second-most attacked sector in 2018 — moving up the ranks from 10th in 2017.

根据IBN X-FORCE调查的最新研究，交通行业从2017年的第10位，上升至2018年的第二大受攻击行业。

"The financial services industry remained the most attacked sector of 2018, accounting for 19 per cent of all attacks observed," according to the report.

"However, the transportation industry — which did not even make the top five list last year — moved to the second most attacked sector in 2018, with attempted attacks increasing threefold since the year prior."

“然而，交通行业——去年甚至没有进入前五名——在2018年成为第二受攻击最严重的行业，袭击未遂事件比前一年增加了两倍。”

Mr Barlow said it was much safer for passengers heading to the airport to bring a regular charger along and plug it into a wall outlet or, alternatively, bring a portable power bank to recharge your phone when you're low on bars.

Barlow表示，对于前往机场的乘客来说，随身携带一个普通充电器并将其插到墙上的插座上要安全得多，或者，当你的手机电量不足时，也可以携带一个便携式移动电源给手机充电。

"Let's say I'm a bad guy … I go into an airport … I'm not going to easily take apart the charging station, but it's easy just to leave my cord behind," he explained.

"Now, if you see an Apple charging cord, you're likely to grab it or just plug into it. But inside this cord is an extra chip that deploys the malware, so it charges your phone, but now I own your computer."

他解释说：“假设我是个坏人……我要去机场……我不会轻易把充电站设备拆开，但把电源线留下很容易。”

“现在，如果你看到苹果的充电线，你很可能会拿上它，或者直接插上充电。但在这条线里面有一个额外的芯片，可以部署恶意软件，在给你的手机充电时，我已经盗取了你的信息。”

Chip：炸薯条（片）；芯片，晶片；碎片，碎屑；缺口；筹码
