FAQ - USB Data Blockers

  • The USB data blocker physically prevents any data transfer between your device and the host port (e.g., public charging station, unknown computer). It only allows power to flow through, ensuring your device charges securely without risk of data breaches, malware injection, or unwanted syncing.

  • USB hacking, often referred to as juice jacking, is a cyber threat where malware is installed or data is secretly copied from a mobile device using a compromised public charging station.

    A related term,choice jacking, specifically refers to a more advanced form of juice jacking where attackers manipulate the "USB connection type" prompt on your device (e.g., "Charge only," "File transfer") to trick you into granting unauthorised access.

  • USB Data Blockers work by creating a physical barrier between a device and a USB port.

    This simple mechanism offers effective protection against various threats. By blocking the connection, you protect sensitive data from unauthorised access or copying and malware infection of your device.

    It only let's power trough - they are also called 'USB charge only adapter' for this reason.

  • We are an Australian company and have 100% control over our supply chains. Our data blockers are custom made and have been tested to offer maximum protection while enabling high-speed charging of devices.

    Our quality control as well as experience as cyber security consultants guarantee a top-tier product that you can trust.

  • You can find a simple demonstration video on the product page. This test can be performed anywhere and all you need is a phone and laptop.

    If you connect your phone without data blocker, you will notice your phone will attempt to connect to the laptop (it might ask for permission or connect without a prompt).

    If you repeat this test with a data blocker connected, you'll see the phone is still charging, but is no longer attempt to connect to your laptop.

  • Yes, our USB Data Blockers are compatible with all devices that use a standard USB-A or USB-C charging point. Devices that can be protected with a USB Data Blocker include phones, laptops, tablets, cameras and even drones.

  • The USB-A to USB-C data blocker only prevents data transfer and doesn't impact charging capacity. If your USB-C device isn't charging, or is charging slowly, the USB-A port likely isn't supplying sufficient power for that device's needs.

    Charging speed depends on the power output of a USB-A port. Older USB-A ports may have have limited power (e.g., 500mA), which may not be enough for fast charging modern USB-C devices.

  • You can plug the data blocker into either your device or the USB charging port. While both configurations work, we recommend plugging the data blocker into the USB charging port.

    Tthat is generally more convenient than having the data blocker connected directly to your device and provides consistent protection for all devices you might connect to that power source.
