Bluetooth is a wireless standard that allows data to be transferred between devices over short distances without the need for a cable connection. An example is the connection between the mobile device and the computer.
Security measures are essential with this form of connection: Attackers can use an open Bluetooth connection to extract private user data or even cause high financial damage by calling chargeable phone numbers. To avert these dangers, Bluetooth connections should only be operated in combination with key allocation. The simplest safety measure: activate Bluetooth only when the wireless connection is necessary.
