Really, I&#8217;m not. But there are three things that I make sure I do when I&#8217;m out and about. I seek out the best coffee I can find. I make sure I use a VPN when using public Wi-Fi, and I always make sure I use a USB data blocker, otherwise known as a USB condom<\/p>\n<p><strong>Must read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/weird-but-super-useful-black-friday-2019-tech-deals\/\">Weird but super-useful Black Friday 2019 tech deals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While the risk from using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/officials-warn-about-the-dangers-of-using-public-usb-charging-stations\/\">public USB power charging stations at airports, hotels, and other locations might be small<\/a>, a USB port is a gateway into a device, and allowing any scabby charging station access to my devices seems overall like a bad idea. Where I can I like to use my own chargers of power banks, but for those occasional times when I can&#8217;t do that, I carry on my keyring a small USB data blocker.<\/p>\n<p>There is a number out there, but the brand I trust is PortaPow (because I&#8217;ve tested them and taken them apart to see how they work). <a
