In addition to smartphones, many people use Bluetooth to connect wireless devices such as smart watches, headphones, speakers, and more. However, in a recent study, researchers found security flaws in Bluetooth technology.

Research shows that this vulnerability in Bluetooth technology has existed for nearly a decade. According to research data, security vulnerabilities were discovered in Bluetooth technology versions 4.2 to 5.4. By exploiting this vulnerability, hackers could use the Bluetooth device's signal to control various devices.

Even Apple's wireless file sharing tool AirDrop has this flaw. The bug has been unknown since 2014, almost a decade now. As a result of this error, information about users affected by the cyberattack is unknown.

Bluetooth technology uses a pairing connection to transfer data from one device to another. Verify the same code on both devices. This Bluetooth pairing connection method was found to have a security vulnerability.

This allows hackers to bypass the pairing code and break into any device and steal data when Bluetooth is activated. Research shows that a solution to this vulnerability in Bluetooth technology has not yet been made public.

As a result, billions of devices around the world are vulnerable to cyberattacks. To protect yourself from cyberattacks, security experts recommend being careful when using Bluetooth connections on your devices and not turning on Bluetooth unless absolutely necessary.
