A storms coming in where im at. Anyway thats not what i wanted to say. Im in a computer operations class as most of you know. We learned about a thing called "Bluesnarfing". Bluesnarfing refears to a hacker using the blue tooth on your phone to get information from you. Well i think i just figured out how it works.

You see my dad leaves his blue tooth on his phone on even when he has nothing connected to it. (I found this out on accident while trying to pair my phone with a speaker) my phone picked up his phone and not the speaker. Everytime i clicked it it tried to pair and would send a pairing request to him. (I did this 3 times to make sure the pairing request sounds from his phone 2 rooms over wasnt a text or something) In my case since i dont have the same equipment that Bluesnarfing hackers do, i was unable to connect to his phone.

However, now i know how easily it can work for bluesnarfers. So please ladies, if you want to protect yourself, and your children from any possible idenity thefts, etc, then when your not using the blue tooth on your phone cut it off. As long as the blue tooth function on you phone is cut off they cant hack into it and steal any info, etc, that you may have on it.
