I recalled reading about this at the beginning of this month, I haven’t seen any updates on a fix or anything. Figured I’d ponder it with you folks over here.

I have since stopped using most of my Bluetooth devices as a precaution. How real of a threat is this vulnerability? Thanks and sorry if this kind of post is in the wrong spot.

Yea, “frivolous” is the part that’s concerning. Perfect description of how average users approach tech. I’ll be borrowing that!

Guess I need to write up something for family and friends, a good summary of BT risks and how to manage it. Sigh.

If your family and friends are like most families and friends, even the best write-up will not help against the convenience of not having to press the Bluetooth icon on their phone before activating their headphones.
