Bluebugging: Some Prevention Techniques You Need To Follow
Bluetooth is automatically made discoverable on older devices. Systems are then vulnerable to unauthorised connections.
01.
Update Devices
Limit the use of hands-free connections if you are exchanging sensitive information.
02.
Avoid Going Hands-Free
Strangers’ messages should always be ignored or deleted right away. Make your device as untraceable as possible.
03.
Reject Unsolicited Messages
Knowing how much data you typically use is useful. When you observe spikes, someone may be hacking your system and consuming your data.
04.
Monitor Data Usage
It also helps to disconnect Bluetooth from any associated devices while not in use. Additionally, when using public Wi-Fi to connect devices, one must exercise caution.
05.
Be Wary of Suspicious Activity
On your smartphone, for example, you could be surprised to see a big list of Bluetooth connections that you’ve used in the past but neglected to erase.
