Charge your own powerbank first, then charge your phone from the powerbank.

  in this day and age i wouldn't be surprised if there was an attack vector whereby the battery firmware was somehow overridden with some insane USB packets, which then propogated the malware from the powerbank to the phone

    Batteries are just chemicals

      That’s exactly what they want you to think. Try charging a lithium battery without a microcontroller. Keep a fire extinguisher handy.

    I use a power bank with standard electrical plugs at least partially for this reason. All a malicious receptacle can do is start a fire, which is relatively obvious. Anker GaN Prime Powercore if anyone’s curious.

  When i have a powerbank with me I usually don't need to charge my phone anywhere public.
