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.

      This is only useful if you’re not using your own cable. Otherwise you can simply use a “power only” cable.

        There are some that do power negotiation on the input side, and then power negotiation on the output side so you can have your cake and firewall it too.
