All you need to know about Bluetooth security
#1
Quote:You are surrounded by Bluetooth devices – your fitness tracker, headphones, speakers, and smart home devices can all use it. They share your data with one another and the web, and where there’s data, there will always be hackers trying to steal it.
The most common Bluetooth hacks
Bluetooth connections have been around for a few decades, so hackers have found many ways to abuse it. There are three most-known and common Bluetooth attacks:
*Bluejacking is an attack during which a hacker uses a Bluetooth connection to get into your phone and send anonymous messages to other nearby devices. Hackers can also use it to make international or expensive pay-per-minute calls and drain your hard-earned
*Bluesnarfing is an attack in which a hacker steals information on your phone, including calendars, emails, texts, photos, videos, and your phone book via Bluetooth. The hacker needs to download all this information fairly quickly – while you’re within range.
*Bluebugging is probably the worst as it allows the hacker to completely control your device. It gives them the ability to listen in on your calls and access all data stored on your device.
