Probably worth being aware of:

 

If you have a fast charger that is susceptible to this exploit, it could kill your phone. In worst case the phone could catch fire and/or explode.

 

Chinese researchers from Tencent Security Labs have found an exploit that lets them change the firmware on fast chargers and cause physical damage to anything that's plugged into them.
