Plugging into a random usb port is bad security
Not really bad if you use a power-only cable. If the data pins aren't even wired up, can't move anything other than power.
Not sure if that works with USB-C at anything other than legacy 500mA power draw though, probably not since the device can't communicate for what it supports.
With this arrangement, they probably can't steal your data. But they can absolutely destroy your phone with a string electric shock, if that's the sort of malicious plan they have.
