Process of Juice Jacking –
Basically, in a charging port, there are 5 pins in which only single pin is responsible for charging while others are for data transfer. So what exactly happens is that when we plug in the data cable into the public USB Port, it activates all the pins so data transfer happens seamlessly and the attacker can also install some malware (spyware, viruses and Trojans) on your device which can not be removed by the user. The attacker can also track your device location.
