Bluejacking

What is bluejacking?

Bluejacking is a Bluetooth-based attack where unwanted messages are sent to nearby devices. These messages may attempt to trick users into interacting with malicious content.

How can you prevent bluejacking?

Disable Bluetooth: Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it. This prevents other devices from discovering and sending messages to your device.
Hide your device: Set your Bluetooth device to “non-discoverable” mode. This makes it harder for attackers to find your device.
Authentication requirements: Ensure your device requires authentication for all connections. This gives you control over which devices can connect to yours.
Update software: Keep your device’s software updated to ensure you have the latest security patches.
Be cautious: Be careful about accepting unexpected Bluetooth requests or messages from unknown sources.
