Use your own charger or a portable power bank to protect your gadgets from potential power attacks. Opt for charging-only cables that prevent data transfer and reduce the risk of malware transmission, especially if you're uncertain about the security of a charging station. Consider carrying a USB data blocker (sometimes referred to as a "USB condom") to ensure secure charging, even if you're skeptical about the security of the charging station.
