With a lot of misinformation and confusion around the realities of mobile device security, officials from the Bluetooth SIG are keen to remind consumers that BLUETOOTH technology was built with security in mind and with a few simple steps, users can easily protect themselves.
BLUETOOTH security features are built in, but they don’t protect you if not used correctly so they advice that users practice common sense and maintain control of their devices.
So don’t accept content from unknown sources and pair devices in private. This is the only time when you’ll be exchanging sensitive security information like PIN codes or passkeys.
Turn the BLUETOOTH feature of your device to non-discoverable to enhance privacy even further; by doing so, you’re still leaving BLUETOOTH on to be able to connect to your devices but remaining invisible to others.
