From Wikipedia

Juice jacking is a theoretical type of compromise of devices like smartphones and tablets which use the same cable for charging and data transfer, typically a USB cable. The goal of the attack is to either install malware on the device, or to surreptitiously copy potentially sensitive data. While researchers have demonstrated charging-port attacks in controlled settings, as of May 2023, multiple reviews have found no credible reported cases of juice jacking on mobile OSs outside of research efforts, and experts generally assess the risk to typical users as low relative to other threats.
