Many Bluetooth Gadgets Open To Wireless Snooping
Ollie Whitehouse, a UK-based researcher with computer security firm @Stake, created the tool "Red Fang", to highlight the potential dangers of running poorly configured Bluetooth gadgets. He says many people may be unaware that they have Bluetooth installed and that security features are often switched off.
"If you're sitting on an intercity train, you're going to have a lot of people around for a long period of time," Whitehouse told New Scientist. "You could try and find their Bluetooth devices and hack into them."
