You can see what kind of product Umbrella USB is, by seeing the following movie.


I will extract data from the USB cable I connected to charge my smartphone "Juice JackingThere is a risk of data leakage called "


In addition to the USB port for charging installed in the airport, hotels, public facilities of the coffee shop, in addition to the USB port of the coffee shop, it can be said that the data had been stolen unnoticed unless attention was paid to offices etc.

Usage is quite easy. Simple to just insert Umbrella USB between the larger terminal and the connection destination when connecting the USB cable. This will prevent you from unintentionally pulling data out of the USB cable.


Also, thanks to this mechanism, you can avoid unnecessary synchronization work.


"Because the battery level is becoming doubtful, it charges a little bit with the company's PC ... ...." I thought that I just connected the USB cable, but it became "card reader mode" without permission, so that the contents of the smartphone can be seen Although it is likely to become common, Umbrella USB is a product that fundamentally shuts out such unnecessary risk.

Incidentally,Kickstarter comment fieldCarefully, it may be necessary to pay attention to the fact that exchange does not "speed up the charging speed", it does not affect the charging itself. Also, as in this picture, if resistive elements are only incorporated in the inside, I'm also wondering how performance and safety are secured when 2A current flows like iPad It is place.
