FBI warns airport, hotel, shopping mall cell phone charging stations risky

posted in: Society | 0

Harried traveler beware: those dangling chords from a free charge kiosk at an airport or other public area that seem like a lifesaver could actually be a bed of serpents, authorities warn.

“Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices,” the FBI’s Denver field office recently tweeted. “Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead.”

The phenomena known as “juice jacking” is not new, nor was the FBI the first agency to try to put out the word.

“Be aware that juicing up your electronic device at free USB port charging stations … could have unfortunate consequences. You could become a victim of ‘juice jacking,’ a new cyber-theft tactic,” the Federal Communications Commission warned in an October 2021 bulletin.

The trick is that the design of smartphones uses the same port for charging as it does for data transfer — as shown when you plug your phone into your computer for a charge and a notice pops up on the desktop asking if you want to transfer files.

“That means, anytime a user connects to a USB port for a charge, they could also be opening up a pathway to move data between devices—a capability threat actors could abuse to steal data or install malware,” explains antivirus software vendor Malwarebytes Labs in a 2019 post.

Thankfully, Malwarebytes says the threat doesn’t seem to show up in the wild often — at least not at the time of the company’s posting. But the concept was proven at DEF CON, the hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, in 2011 by the group Wall of Sheep.

Wall of Sheep wrote in a post on their demonstration that the vulnerability is the phone’s USB port and the exposure is a user’s awareness of the possible attack. “When these two factors come together, the unsuspecting user plugs their phone into a malicious system, the attack is able to take place.”

Thankfully, the group writes, “there is no reason to presume the kiosks filling airports and other public places are inherently malicious. It is important for the public to know that the threat exists, which is why it’s a concern and a defense should be put in place.”

Tim Scott set to launch presidential exploratory committee

posted in: Politics | 0

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is expected to announce the formation of a presidential exploratory committee Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the plans.

In an email to supporters Tuesday, Scott said he planned to make a “major announcement” Wednesday morning on Fox News. The GOP senator has spent recent months taking steps toward launching a presidential bid, and the impending announcement inches him that much closer to officially entering the race.

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking the past few months. I’ve been thinking about my faith. I’ve been thinking about the future of our country. And I’ve been thinking about the Left’s plan to ruin America,” Scott said in the email. “From all this and through self-reflection and prayer, I’ve decided to make a major announcement tomorrow and I want to make sure you hear it first.”

If he does officially enter the GOP presidential race, Scott would join another Republican from his state, former Gov. Nikki Haley. Also in the field are former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, conservative entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former President Donald Trump, the race’s current frontrunner.

CLOSE CALL: Florida Man Arrested in Possession of 8 Firearms, 3,000 Rounds of Ammo, and “Homicidal Writings”

JUPITER, FL – Florida police arrested a potentially unhinged man who, upon being taken into custody, was found to be in possession of multiple firearms, ammunition, and alleged “homicidal” and “suicidal” writings that painted a picture to authorities of an individual who potentially posed a serious risk to the community.

Chapin Huffman was taken into custody after the car he was traveling to St. Petersburg in ran out of gas. Police found him standing outside of his vehicle on Indiantown Road under the Interstate 95 overpass, and quickly discovered five loaded semi-automatic handguns, three rifles, and 3,000 rounds of ammunition in his car.

In addition, police also stated that they discovered a notebook allegedly filled with writings by Huffman that were both “suicidal and homicidal in nature.” 

“Huffman also wrote about killing a lot of people by running through a crowd and stabbing as many people as possible,” the police report said.

According to former FBI agent John MacVeigh – who has extensively studied the suspect’s arrest report – Huffman’s capture at the time possibly prevented yet another of the country’s mass shooting events that have become all-too-common these days, as the suspect possessed all of the telltale signs.

“In law enforcement, you’re lucky if you can find these things ahead of time,” he said. “And you’re not playing ‘Monday Morning Quarterback’ by saying, ‘Oh my God, we should have known’ or ‘Someone should have known this person was like that.’”  

“Who just goes out and buys eight guns? That doesn’t make any sense,” MacVeigh added. 

Authorities say that in his notebook, Huffman had written that he anticipated murdering at least five people, claiming that “My killing spree would be unlike any other.” MacVeigh noted that the suspect clearly had the intent and the means to carry out his threatened killings, and praised Jupiter police for capturing the suspect before the community found out if he was serious or not.

“Would he do something about it? We don’t know. But at first glance, it does look pretty bad,” MacVeigh said. “Just because someone writes about mass shootings doesn’t mean they’re going to do those kinds of crimes. And if someone has eight guns in their car, it’s a big red flag that they now have the tools to do this.” 

Op-Ed: Disney & Devils – New Show Focuses on Teen-Girl Sex With Satan

PORTSMOUTH, OH – What is up with Disney’s fascination of females having sexual encounters with Satan? In 2022, Disney presented an animated series called “The Little Demon.” The show’s description: “13 years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul.”

“Along with other Disney-associated productions such as Maleficent, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and The Owl House, this new adult cartoon series, Little Demon, is also set in a spiritually demonic realm,” noted One Million Moms.  

As reported in an article for DEADLINE, Disney+ has unveiled a German original about a teenager who falls in love with the devil. 

“Pauline follows the eponymous protagonist, an 18-year-old who accidentally becomes pregnant – from a one-night stand. With school stress, the climate crisis and the downfall of society weighing heavily on her mind, something she doesn’t need at all right now is catching feelings, especially not for her one-night stand Lukas, who, as it turns out, is the devil himself,” the article continues. 

Pauline is penned by Sebastian Colley and EPs are Philipp Käßbohrer and Matthias Murmann. Arabella Bartsch, Alma Buddecke and Facundo Scalerandi are directors. 

For a long time, the series has been and still remains a project very close to our hearts,” said Käßbohrer and Murmann. “We’re thrilled that Disney+ loves this coming-of-age story as much as we do and that we’ve now been able to begin filming with such an amazing cast and crew.” 

Huh? So, a series about Satan impregnating an 18-year-old female is close to their DARK hearts. This is disturbing and sickening. Or perhaps the writers and producers are trying to turn the devil into a comical creature of legend that isn’t authentic – which would mock the Bible.   

Apparently, the human female did not give consent to have sex with sneaky Satan. And neither used birth control or protection. 

The reprobates that manage the Magic Kingdom either worship Satan, are demon-possessed, hate God and Christians, or all the above. 

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.” (Romans 1:28, New International Version)

What Can You Do? 

The occult is alive and well at Devil-land. Boycott Disney. Don’t spend your hard-earned money at Disneyland or on toys for kids. No more watching Disney movies. Stand up for God and Christianity. Pray for exposure, turnaround, and salvation for the Disney leaders and employees.  

And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15, English Standard Version)
