Anyone heard of Bluejacking / Bluesnarfing?
I know I know... probably a bad place to ask for this cos this isn't a COOL thing to do anyway... but I just read about it, though it's been out for quite some time and wanna know if anyone knows anything about it?
Maybe they could help me out, since talksfu is kinda like a family ;)
thanks

this is actually the first i've heard of Bluejacking. seems a bit like SMS Phishing (or SMishing)...or at least it's in its first stages of being as harmful as SMishing.
i cannot find them in the dictionary! XP
Bluesnarfing is just hacking via bluetooth. Possible to go into your phone, delete your stuff, or steal confidential information, all that kind of good stuff.
i've had a bluetooth phone for the last 6 years and never once received anything from anyone.
and ya ppl, just turn it off unless u actively use it, save some battery :)
but yeah this was eventual, even a while ago when internet browsing on the cells first came out, there were virus's for that too.
