I think the solution to charging from an untrusted port is a power bank. Mine will pass through power to my device if the device needs charging. If not, it will recharge itself. It's also powerful enough to recharge a tablet and I think my M2 Air.
I bought the power bank from a well known brand, and I've tried charging it from different supplies. It seems to negotiate the power to charge itself correctly. And my devices just detect it as a power supply. It has wireless charging for phones too.
- brigade 4y agoThe right solution is not thinking about it at all. The only extant malicious chargers anyone has shown evidence of have been proof-of-concepts whose concept hasn't worked in nearly a decade. If you're worried about purely theoretical attacks, you should also be worried about your power bank's firmware being infected from the malicious port and subsequently infecting your phone.
