Claude Code found that every free charging station i used in airports copied data from my phone. photos, passwords, banking sessions, contacts. i charged my phone at 3 airports across China and every single station pulled something from my device.
i travel through Asia a lot for work. my phone dies at airports constantly. i've used those free USB charging stations at gates without thinking about it. everyone does.
i installed Claude Code on my iPhone and ran a full device scan while i was still at the airport. plugged into a charging station at the gate and let Claude Code monitor the connection in real time. within 8 seconds it flagged a data handshake that shouldn't exist on a power-only connection.
i went back and checked every charging session from the last 4 months:
→ Shanghai Pudong PVG, Terminal 2 → June 14 → contacts + 2,840 photos transferred
→ Guangzhou Baiyun CAN → July 2 → active Safari sessions copied including Gmail and banking apps
→ Shenzhen Bao'an SZX → August 19 → full photo library access + location history for 6 months
→ Shanghai Pudong again → September 3 → iMessage database copied, 3 years of messages
→ Guangzhou again → October 11 → clipboard history including a crypto wallet address i copied that morning
every station initiated a data transfer the moment i plugged in. none of them were just charging.
the scariest one was Shenzhen. whoever operated that station got my full location history for 6 months. every place i slept, worked, ate, and visited. from one 20 minute charge while i was scrolling my phone waiting for my flight.
Claude Code traced 4 of the 5 transfers to the same server:
→ IP → 116.25.***.34
→ location → Shenzhen, China
→ hosting → dedicated server, registered 45 days before my first transfer
→ total data pulled from my phone → 4.7 GB across 5 sessions
what Claude Code did:
→ revoked every active session on Gmail, iCloud, WhatsApp, and banking apps
→ rotated every password stored in Keychain
→ purged all cached session tokens
→ flagged the crypto address i copied as compromised before i sent anything to it
→ disabled USB data transfer for all future connections
i never lost money. Claude Code caught it before anything was used. but 3 years of iMessages, my banking sessions, and my entire photo library were sitting on a server in Shenzhen for months.
buy a $12 charge-only USB cable. it has no data pins. or use a wall outlet with your own adapter. never plug a USB cable from a public station directly into your phone.
the full prompt is in the first reply. run it tonight. takes 3 minutes. if you've ever charged your phone at an airport, a mall, or a hotel lobby, someone might already have your data. save it and send it to anyone who travels.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No verified cases of data theft via public USB chargers exist; iOS blocks unauthorized transfers without explicit trust/passcode approval, and standard Claude tools cannot monitor USB connections or scan device logs in real time as described.

俄羅斯人收買了川普
🚨URGENTE: Zelensky 🇺🇦 acaba de anunciar que el ejército ucraniano 🇺🇦 lleva casi un mes esperando a que el Secretario de Guerra de Estados Unidos 🇺🇸, Pete Hegseth, apruebe la entrega de nuevos misiles interceptores para hacer frente a los misiles rusos 🇷🇺.
“Llevamos casi un mes esperando a que el señor Hegseth apruebe los misiles para los sistemas Patriots y NASAMS.
Instruí a nuestro equipo que planteara este tema nuevamente al lado estadounidense.”
Estos misiles son cruciales para la defensa de las ciudades ucranianas 🇺🇦.

饿到喝尿吃树皮的俄军士兵，投降乌克兰反倒活了下来。
一段从前线流出来的审讯现场，94名俄军战俘排成一排报数。
队伍里走出来一个军官。
胸前挂着伤，自报家门是第3步兵营的少校马纳姆科夫。
他面对镜头开口第一句，直接控诉自己的后方指挥官。
战斗最紧张的时候，长官自己先乘车撤了。
临走前把电台关死，扔下一句“就地组织环形防御，死守”。
电台一掐，后方就把这几十号人当成了耗材。
阵地上断水断粮整整一个半月。
几十个人趴在泥地里舔雨水积成的水坑，水坑干了就喝自己的尿。
身边一个战友严重脱水，活活死在战壕里。
饿极了怎么办？
剥树皮嚼，拔地里的野草，摘路边的荨麻在野战炉子上煮成水充饥。
三个受了重伤的士兵，连一块止血纱布和止痛药都拿不到，在旁边拖到断气。
按俄军内部的战前宣传，投降乌克兰会遭到非人折磨。
结果这帮被逼到绝境的残兵，在乌军第3突击旅阵地前举了白旗。
乌克兰军医进场，立刻给伤员做清创。
少校脑壳里嵌着的弹片、肋侧扎进去的碎铁块，当场取了出来，送去卧床休息。
吃上了热饭，喝上了干净水。
马纳姆科夫在镜头前苦笑了一下：
“整整一个半月，我第一次吃上一顿饱饭，居然是在战俘营里。”
善待战俘除了人道原则，背后有一套极其现实的利益驱动。
镜头后方，乌克兰士兵一句话点透了关键：
这批人是换回自家兄弟最好的筹码。
死战俘换不回自己人，只有活着的、治好伤的俄军军官和士兵，才能在谈判桌上按人头把被俘乌军换回家。
更深层的影响在战场之外。
这94个人亲眼看到长官把他们当炮灰扔在绝境，也亲身体验了对面的战俘营给他们治伤发饭。
这些战俘一旦被交换回国，他们亲口说出的每一个细节，都会在俄军基层私下传开。
保障战俘活下来，不仅是为了人道和换俘，也是在用肉眼可见的事实瓦解对手的抵抗意志。
立陶宛人的眼光是雪亮的！
I met with the Speaker of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania, Juozas Olekas. I thanked the Lithuanian people for their unwavering, strong, and consistent support for Ukraine.
We discussed in detail our European integration and the priorities of Lithuania’s presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2027. It is very important that the remaining two negotiating clusters for Ukraine be opened by the end of this year, so that during Lithuania’s presidency we can already begin closing negotiating chapters.
I briefed the Speaker on the meetings in Oslo and the overall situation in the negotiation process. We expect the trilateral meeting of the American, Ukrainian, and Russian teams to take place as early as the beginning of November.
I am grateful to Lithuania for supporting Ukraine.

The number of people injured in the Russian strike on a university campus and the surrounding area yesterday evening has risen to 12. Five of them are students and university staff. While emergency services were helping people and dealing with the aftermath of the first strike, the Russians used ballistic missiles again. In total, 16 ballistic missiles were launched overnight. More than 280 drones as well. Tragically, there have been casualties and hits in Kyiv, including on the South Bridge. A serious escalation in Russia’s operation against our logistics. There were also strikes on the Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Kherson, and Chernivtsi regions. Almost everywhere, Russia’s targets were the energy sector, logistics, and ordinary urban infrastructure.
The artificial and prolonged delays in the delivery of interceptor packages for Patriot and NASAMS systems, which unfortunately have occurred recently, are directly helping Russia achieve the objectives of its terrorist campaign. Every such delay means another Russian strike on one facility or another. Unfortunately, strikes are taking place every day. Russia is constantly taking new steps toward escalation. Pressure on Russia and real support for Ukraine are needed to change the situation. I thank everyone who truly supports our efforts to protect lives and understands the importance of support packages arriving on time. We must bring peace closer and save lives. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

再來是立法保障人民的基本生活、外勞侵蝕本勞（財團與民代聯手操控的）。

這次川普與習近平會談，如果用一句話概括，就是：川普拿「面子」換「裡子」。
習近平重視面子，川普就把面子做足：接機、紅地毯、軍禮、國宴，能給的都給。對川普來說，面子很便宜。握手、合照、說好聽的話，都幾乎沒有成本。真正重要的是：美國換到了什麼？
我把川普想要的東西歸納成五個字：「土豆泥＋飛機」。「土」是稀土，「豆」是大豆，「泥」是芬太尼，再加上波音飛機。
美國即將面臨期中選舉。稀土關係高科技與軍工，大豆關係農業州選民，芬太尼是重要社會問題，波音則關係到製造業與就業。
所以川普要的是選民看得見的成果：稀土不要斷、大豆繼續買、芬太尼前驅物繼續管、飛機訂單趕快落實。這幾個要求，基本上中國都答應了。
反過來，中國想要什麼？希望美國在台灣問題上退讓，反對台灣獨立、不對台軍售。還有放鬆高階晶片管制、停止切斷「紅色供應鏈」、降低關稅。但目前看來，美國在這些核心議題上都沒有做出具體讓步。
當然，中國也不是空手而回。習近平得到高規格國事訪問，也換到了貿易休戰的延長。所以這次交易很有意思，習近平拿到了面子與喘息空間；川普則拿到了可以向美國選民交代的裡子。
雙方這次還談了不少歷史。外交有時候就是這樣，眼前的問題談不下去，就開始談歷史。因為科技、晶片、貿易、台灣、軍事等中美結構性矛盾，一個都沒有真正解決。
很多台灣人希望美國能一拳打垮中國，但美國的做法更像是「管控競爭」。一點一點地把中國的國力削弱。川普現在需要的不是一份解決所有美中結構性矛盾的「世紀大協議」，而是一些美國選民看得見、摸得到的成果。
他既想賺中國的錢、也不想收拾中國崩潰的爛攤子。所以，川普的方針是限制中國取得尖端科技、降低供應鏈風險、維持軍事嚇阻，同時避免衝突失控。
「打一棒子，給一顆甜棗」。給完甜棗，再繼續競爭。所以，看到美國給中國甜棗，台灣沒必要馬上感到焦慮，因為美中長期競爭的結構，並沒有改變。
紅地毯是面子，「土豆泥＋飛機」才是裡子。看美中關係，要少看面子，多看裡子，才能看清真正的方向。

Today, Russia struck the media and journalists. An attack drone hit the building of the We Are Ukraine TV channel, which is part of the United News telethon. It happened in broad daylight – while journalists were live on air. The building was partially destroyed. All necessary services are working at the site. State Emergency Service personnel have already extinguished the fire. As of now, five people have been reported injured. Unfortunately, that number may still rise.
“Shaheds” against the media mark a new chapter in Russia’s degradation, and Europe and the world must certainly respond to this. Not a single strike against Ukraine and Ukrainians – against life itself – can be left unpunished. Russia must be stopped, and this is possible only through joint efforts.

#乌克兰今日
泽连斯基迄今为止水准最高的一段演讲：
没有汽油，没有水，没有电。
寒冷、饥饿、黑暗我们都不怕。
我们只要没有你，没有你普京俄罗斯。
没有你之后，
我们将会有光，水和食物！

这次西藏尼泊尔洪灾，让世界看清中国的真相！
两国国力对比：
1、尼泊尔GDP是455亿美元，是中国的2.3%
2、尼泊尔人均GDP是1500美元，是中国的1/9还少
但是：
1、在灾害发生的60小时内，尼泊尔发布8次情况更新，中共只有两次
2、尼泊尔派出2万军队和警察救灾，中共派出2100人，是中国的十倍
3、尼泊尔派出16架直升机救灾，中共声称因为「道路被封，所以等到第三天派的部队才到场（你不会飞呀？！？）
4、4天之内尼泊尔用手挖、用人爬救出8730人幸存者，中共救出了0个。
5、尼泊尔找到752具遇难者遗体，中共找到7具。
6、尼泊尔不仅更新死亡失踪数据，警察网站还有找到的尸体认领图片，西方记者可以进入灾区任何地方报道，中共删去所有洪水视频，只留救灾和领导视察报道，不许任何西方记者进入西藏。
中共唯一花了点功夫的就是训练自己的士兵对着泥浆齐声喊：「有没有人？」，拍了一部好营救片。
这就是所谓的世界第二强国，在一个世界排名第103的贫国面前的表现！

這幾天有媒體報導，台北市長蔣萬安的兒子被錄取台北市教育局的公費國際交換學生計畫，準備赴美國留學一年。消息傳出後，因為蔣萬安證實兒子具有美國國籍，引起不少討論。
我覺得這件事值得思考的是，一個本來就擁有美國籍的孩子，有沒有必要使用台北市政府有限的公共資源，到美國交換學生？
這個計畫的名額並不多。對許多台灣孩子來說，能夠到美國交換一年，是非常難得的機會。沒有美國身分，就要面對簽證、學校、住宿以及相當高的費用門檻。政府之所以花納稅人的錢推動國際交換，重要意義之一，就是讓更多學生有機會跨過這些門檻，豐富人生的體驗。
但是，美國公民本來就擁有在美國居住、就學的身分便利。如果一個已經擁有這項優勢的人，再取得有限的公費交換名額，即使完全符合現行規定，也難免讓人產生疑問。
所以，首先應該先檢討的，是制度是否合理？雙重國籍在台灣並不是罕見現象。教育局在設計國際交換制度時，應該想到一個問題：如果學生同時擁有目的地國家的國籍，還能不能申請公費去那個國家「交換」？如果可以，和沒有當地國籍的學生完全放在一起競爭，是否公平？
這次事件正好暴露了制度可能沒有處理清楚的灰色地帶。
更敏感的，當然是蔣萬安的身分。
目前沒有證據顯示蔣萬安曾經關說，也不能因為孩子是市長的兒子，就認定甄選一定有問題。但是，這畢竟不是一般民間機構的獎學金，而是「台北市政府主辦」的計畫。
因此，外界要求更高標準的利益迴避，是完全合理的。
政治人物的家人當然也有追求教育機會的權利。但是，當私人權利遇到有限的公共資源時，社會要求更高的透明度與利益迴避，並不過分。
真正成熟的民主，不是要求政治人物的孩子什麼都不能做，而是要求他們得到機會時，讓所有人都能相信，這個機會來得公平，並沒有因為特殊身份而占了便宜。
