Bluetooth Devices Hacked In Milliseconds...Even With Security Enabled

Friday June 10, 2005
There have been attacks on Bluetooth wireless devices in the past, most notably the Cabir worm. However, previous attacks have targeted Bluetooth devices that did not have security enabled.

For more about the Bluetooth compromise and a link to the related whitepaper, Cracking The Bluetooth PIN, see this InformationWeek article: Research Shows Bluetooth Can Be Hacked In Milliseconds.
