New Set of Bluetooth Vulnerabilities Endangering Every Connected Device

[Daniel_Dor]

The IoT cybersecurity firm, Armis, has revealed eight vulnerabilities in the implementation of Bluetooth in several operating systems, including Android, Windows, Linux, and iOS, successful exploitation of which could allow hackers to take complete control of a device. Indeed, these are the most severe vulnerabilities found in Bluetooth in recent years and are worrying due to their ability to be spread over an air interface. They have been termed ‘The BlueBorne Vulnerabilities’.
