I read in The Age yesterday that the world's first mobile phone virus has emerged, transmitted from one phone to another vie Bluetooth.
It relatively harmless at this stage (only displaying the name of the virus everytime you turn on your phone), but it's the beginning of bad things to come.
Rich will be he who gets into mobile phone anti-virus technology?
What are your thoughts?
God has placed me on earth to accomplish certain things.
Right now, I am so far behind that I will never die.
When bonding bluetooth devices, people usually stick to the 0000 code. Also some people's devices enables anyone to connect without even bonding. This gives an open door to these hackers.
Try it yourself, go to the train station or a packed place like shopping malls and use your PDA or phone to search for bluetooth devices. i bet you can connect to most of them using 0000
It's useful in the library, when people are being noisy, just send a message to them (make a contact with the message and send to them by bluetooth), they wont know its you, and you might not even know that it's them, just don't look suspicious
