literally wanted to post that here now as well lol
just finished reading this article and altho it is 'plausable' i would say unlikely.
the article ends with ' figures obtained by the Press Association revealed that e-cigarettes and related equipment, such as chargers, were involved in more than 100 fires in less than two years'
clear indication of where this is going!

The same can be said of buying any cheap chinese knock-off. So this is really not that alarming 
The idea of malware on chargers is not new, they are just using it as another excuse to slam e-cigs
Now if they could get a virus onto one my attys....that would concern me

Ugh, what drivel. At least they state it is healthier for your lungs. They can't withdraw that headline now.
If a company has the resources to track an infection to a compromised usb charger then the Sys Admin should be reprimanded severely. The Bad-USB threat has been out in the wild for a while and is easily avoided. USB controller chips are vulnerable but it is easy to secure an operating system. This almost seems like a contrived scenario to me.
