Ever Charge Your iPhone Away From Home?

Trusting iPhones plugged into bogus chargers get a dose of malware

"Plugging your phone into a charger should be pretty safe to do. It should fill your phone with electricity, not malware. But researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology have produced fake chargers they've named Mactans that do more than just charge your phone: they install custom, malicious applications onto iPhones."

From what I understand this only applies to using a USB cord for recharging a iPhone.

I also would assume this could also apply to other things like tablets, etc.
