♪ there is no royal blood in this country. nothing is reserved for anyone. it's all just out there... ...waiting... ...for someone to reach out... ...and take it. and the ones who do... ...these are the kings and queens of america. ♪ we all depend on our smartphones to power our days and nights. when the charger is not nearby,

you might be tempted to use a public kiosk or station. >> but lesli foster says be careful where you plug in or you might just get juice jacked. >> reporter: if you've got a phone and a cord, here's what you need to do to avoid getting jacked. our smartphones keep us informed, in touch and moving until they need a recharge. have you ever heard of juice jacking? >> no, i have not. >> reporter: juice jacking can happen at the point where you plug your usb charger into a public docking station. you play have seen or used them at airports, hotels or coffee shops. you think you're giving the battery a boost, but cyber criminals get something even information they can use against you. >> they're stealing information from your phone, but there isn't necessarily a way that you as the phone owner would know that it's happening. >> reporter: wine williams runs -- ryan williams runs purchaseblack.com and is working on a mobile app for his site. he said on an android phone this screen gives users three options to charge the device,

airports abroad are less likely to be as secure as the ones in the u.s. and people may be more exposed and vulnerable to juice jacking in those overseas facilities. i'm lesli foster, wusa9. >> here's another step to avoid being juice jacked. use a power only usb cord. these cables do not have the wires needed for data transmission and will just charge your smartphone, which is what you want. tonight president barack obama makes his final appearance on the late show with david letterman and with the last show may 20th the two talked retirement. >> what will you do when you're not president? >> well, i was thinking you and me, we could play some domino's together. >> dominoes, all right. >> we can go to the local starbucks. swap stories. >> i want to say something that the president said to me during the commercial break, that i
