Bluesnarfing: Is your phone's data at risk?
Nokia has admitted that some of its Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones are vulnerable to "bluesnarfing" - where an attacker could read, modify and copy a phone's address book and calendar without leaving any trace of the intrusion, according to Silicon.com. Bluesnarfing is only possible if the phone is in 'visible mode' where it is set to actively search for other Bluetooth devices. If I have this straight, "Bluesnarfing" is not to be confused with "Bluejacking", where mischevious mobile users can surreptitiously surprise someone nearby with a text message or even a picture, sent using the short wave wireless Bluetooth technology. cf Cell Phone Messaging Turns Mischievous. |
