Everybody uses Bluetooth, but maybe they should stop doing...
The technology that we take as good today links everything from smartphones and watches through our mobile phone and our refrigerators to our vibrators. More and more experts, however, claim that this is a major problem.
The reason for this is only about security and data protection.
This year at DEF COR, the world's largest hackers convention, researchers showed how easy it is to use Bluetooth to identify vulnerable digital speakers.
Once identified, hackers can take control of speakers and make dangerous noises that could harm anyone's hearing in the nearby area.
The hackers can listen and edit all the data sent through this technology, and they can listen.
AirDrop can use your data, and many stores use Bluetooth to follow customer locations and then sell information to advertisers who build a database on them.
Actually, it's very simple. You just have to keep Bluetooth off when you don't need it, otherwise this technology makes you vulnerable every time to anyone who wants to abuse your carelessness.
