#bluesnarfing

Podemos dizer que o smartphone é genericamente um dispositivo seguro, no entanto apresenta diversas vulnerabilidades e pode potenciar falhas de segurança. Não se iluda se pensa que está seguro: hackers (piratas informáticos) estão constantemente à procura de brechas para roubar a sua identidade, espiar as suas conversas, furtarem dados importantes, acederem a contas bancárias e até mesmo, caso…

Bluesnarfing is a type of cyber crime which involves stealing information from Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones, laptops and tablets. The attack exploits vulnerabilities in the device’s security protocols to access confidential data like text messages, emails, passwords and more. 

It is an illegal act in many countries, as it is an extreme violation of privacy which needs a proper Internet Crime Investigation.

Marcel Holtmann identified Bluesnarfing in September 2003 while Adam Laurie discovered flaws in authentication or data transfer mechanisms on some Bluetooth-enabled devices later that year. The attacker can use software such as Bluediving for penetration testing of the device’s OBEX protocol with tools like bluebug, blue scarf etc., allowing access to higher-level commands & channels.

To prevent Bluesnarfing attacks users should keep their Bluetooth enabled devices up to date; set it into non discoverable mode when not using; reject pairing requests from unknown sources; enable two factor authentication and change PIN codes every month.

Bluebugging allows someone to remotely gain access to a Bluetooth-enabled device and use it to eavesdrop on phone calls, read text messages, and even track the user's location.

A Bluetooth-enabled computer or smartphone plus proximity to the target device (usually about 30 meters) is all it takes for the attacker to engage in this attack.
