NewsBluetooth vulnerability could expose device data to hackers Pin

A fast-acting hacker could be able to weaken the encryption of Bluetooth devices and subsequently snoop on communications or send falsified ones to take over a device due to a newly discovered vulnerability in the standard.
Beware of hackers offering pairing opportunities?

"In order to execute this attack, a hacker would have to be present during the Bluetooth devices’ connection, block each device’s initial transmission when establishing encryption key length, and broadcast their own message, “all within a narrow time window,” says the organization behind the standard. The hacker would also have to be in range and repeat the attack every time they wanted to break in again." OK, disengage panic mode
