Lași Bluetooth-ul pornit tot timpul? Riști să deschizi o poartă directă spre datele din telefon • Newsweek România

Keeping Bluetooth on all the time can expose your phone to data theft if the device is visible and outdated. Nearby attackers can exploit this connection to steal personal and banking information. Many users keep Bluetooth active for smartwatches and headphones, but this habit increases vulnerability, especially if the phone is visible to other devices. One common attack is bluesnarfing, allowing attackers to extract data without user interaction. Risks include unauthorized access to contacts, messages, and even GPS location. To mitigate risks, it is advised to turn off Bluetooth when not in use and ensure the device is not permanently visible to unknown devices. Regular security updates and changing default PINs are also crucial.
