That's why I always use my little transformer cube rather than a public USB port.

Get a portable charger(battery) and charge that and not the phone

I believe (and I could be wrong) that USB has four wires, two of which carry power (+5V/Return), and two of which carry data (+Data/-Data). If you have a cable with just two wires for charging, I think you should be safe.

Public charging facilities can be compared to public sex facilities. Like the old warning to sailors going ashore:

"She may look clean..."

I always bring my own charger and find an AC outlet. Always. It's just not worth the risk.

Because of the Democrats “No punishment for crime” policy, criminals are not afraid to venture into new types of theft.

Use your own USB cable that brings only the +5V and GND to your phone, omitting the D+ and D- signals.
