Today's NYTimes features an article titled Stop! Don’t Charge Your Phone This Way.

It warns that hackers are setting up compromised USB "charging stations" in airports, hotels, etc. Similar to "card skimmers" on ATM machines.

First time I have ever heard of the potential for this attack method. Legitimate threat that people need to be aware of or more of a clickbait concern? What do you think?
