Bluetooth & Your Security

One new way open to Hackers is Bluetooth.
For those that don't know Bluetooth is a wireless connection similar to Wi-Fi.

However it can make your computer extremely vulnerable to a person with the right knowledge.
This goes for GPS,Cell Phones and any other gadgets with Bluetooth.

Someone can take control of the device or even still information off of it.

In fact I believe this is most likely how a hacker published Paris Hilton's phone list on her phone.

So turn it off if your not using it that is the safest way to go.

If you can set a password do it and make it a tough one add numbers or a capital letters mixed with lower case.
But in some cases you can not add a password.

But a password still does not guarantee safety.

Having it turned off is the only way to keep the bluetooth portal shut to would-be hackers.
