The sections How_does_juice_jacking_work, Types_of_juice_jacking[21], and Countermeasures,_one_should_take_to_prevent_juice-jacking[23] are not written in an encyclopaedic tone. They are written like a guide or explainer. In addition, there are multiple style errors throughout these sections.

I have decided to be bold and simply remove the sections, as the content thereof seems entirely incompatible with Wikipedia's goal. Any attempt to include such information will require a complete rewrite.

Also, I checked for possible copyvio and found a result, but based on the publication date it seems likely that the author of this paper is the one who plagiarized Wikipedia, rather than the other way around.

Edit: if anyone thinks these sections could indeed be usefully altered to fit an encyclopaedic tone, I will not contest a revert, but I hope this is done alongside actually fixing some of the issues.
