But I digress, any technologically minded person sees the potential dangers of Bluetooth. I constantly see these applications for mobile phones where you can try and connect to other's Bluetooth network, if it hasn't got a password or the phone you're connecting to doesn't have security measures, they can easily just grab whatever data or information the phone allows Bluetooth to send.
Most people turn off their Bluetooth anyway, they feel it's a battery drain and they hardly ever use it. Of course, there will be those who just don't care or don't realise that it's even on. But all new modern phones will have security measures activated by default to stop people maliciously taking information off a phone without the user's consent. Thus, this isn't a huge privacy threat, but a privacy threat regardless.]]>May 9th 2008 7:57AM
