Points taken from article:
- Android 15 is adding a built-in mechanism to protect your device from “juice jacking” attacks.
- Charging will be allowed when lockdown mode is enabled in Android 15, but USB data access will not.
- Juice jacking is a largely theoretical problem you don’t really need to worry about, but it’s still nice that Android will protect you against it.
LineageOS has been doing this for a year or so already.
Pixel UI seems to have it too, but does that not prevent data transfer?
It’s smart! Do not expose logic without first supposing an appropriate level of trust. Software can have errors.
Same on GrapheneOS :)
