Bluetooth – How to use and most importantly, use safely…..
Bluetooth today is found on almost all mobile phones sold around the world (except the ones which do not have color screens and are really cheap). Bluetooth is used for file-sharing between mobile phones as well as with PC’s.
But bluetooth is vulnerable as well as you have to keep in mind that one incorrect step might get your mobile phone hacked…..
There are many programs available on the internet which can hack into your phone via bluetooth and then the hacker can make calls / spy, read all your messages and phonebook etc. So, security while using bluetooth is an very important aspect….
Mobile phones with bluetooth have a visibility option as well as you are able to restrict the incoming connections by checking the names of the devices.
The following steps are important to keep your phone secure:
1. Visibility must be off when you are not using your phone to receive any files…
2. Also check out the name of the device you are going to connect. There might be many devices active, and choosing the wrong device might put your security at risk…
3. *Always* use a Pass-Key……Using a pass key authenticates and verifies the connection on both the ends so that no other device can connect to your phone until the passkey is correct…
So,take care while using bluetooth and stay secure….
Happy sharing…..
