A prophylactic for charging....

Or use a charge only cable. I carry a bright orange one.

I tend to use my own power brick anyway to get a fast charge, but it's rare that I need one with my travel schedules and the S8 battery life based on my use patterns.

I've pretty much become fully reliant on power blocks, with the exception of the nightly plug in at home, between 4 blocks I've got 23,000mah to work with.

Plugging your device into any public port you take a risk. Use the regular outlets with a power adapter. Also a common thing when traveling: be careful when joining wifi networks as well....its a scary world out there.

You should use a VPN whenever traveling or connecting to unknown networks.

Ugh.

I use my MiFi or tethered mobile. Never sticking my junk into that cesspool that is public WiFi.
