Plaintext transmissions, fixed MAC addresses, rotating 'unique' IDs, and more, make abuse easy Tile Bluetooth trackers leak identifying data in plain text, giving stalkers an easy way to track victims despite Life360's security promises, a group of Georgia Tech researchers warns.…
Bluetooth Flaws in Car Software Could Enable Hijacking of Infotainment SystemsA set of critical Bluetooth flaws in software that helps cars connect to phones and other devices could enable attackers to remotely take control of car infotainment systems used by major automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Skoda and Volkswagen, new research shows.
PLUS: Bluetooth mess leaves cars exposed; Bitcoin ATMs attacked; Deepfakers imitate US secretary of state Marco Rubio; and more Infosec In Brief Nvidia last week advised customers to ensure they employ mitigations against Rowhammer attacks, after researchers found one of its workstation-grade GPUs is susceptible to the exploit.…
Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of four security flaws in OpenSynergy's BlueSDK Bluetooth stack that, if successfully exploited, could allow remote code execution on millions of transport vehicles from different vendors
Cybersecurity Firm Warns of 'Hidden Features' in the Widely Used ESP32 ChipResearchers have discovered 29 undocumented commands in the Bluetooth implementation of the ESP32 microcontroller - one of the world's most widely used chips in internet of things devices and industrial IoT devices - that attackers could use to read and modify device memory.
New research has unearthed multiple novel attacks that break Bluetooth Classic's forward secrecy and future secrecy guarantees, resulting in adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) scenarios between two already connected peers
Researchers at Eurecom have developed six new attacks collectively named 'BLUFFS' that can break the secrecy of Bluetooth sessions, allowing for device impersonation and man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. [...]
Researchers demonstrated a possible way to track individuals via Bluetooth signals.
A new research undertaken by a group of academics from the University of California San Diego has revealed for the first time that Bluetooth signals can be fingerprinted to track smartphones (and therefore, individuals)
While this poses a privacy and security threat, an attacker's ability to exploit it may come down to luck Researchers at the University of California San Diego have shown for the first time that Bluetooth signals each have an individual, trackable, fingerprint.…
Anything that uses proximity-based BLE is vulnerable, claim researchers Tesla Model 3 and Y owners, beware: the passive entry feature on your vehicle could potentially be fooled by a new form of relay attack.…
Security researchers at the NCC Group have developed a tool to carry out a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) relay attack that bypasses all existing protections to authenticate on target devices. [...]
A first-of-its-kind security analysis of iOS Find My function has demonstrated a novel attack surface that makes it possible to tamper with the firmware and load malware onto a Bluetooth chip that's executed while an iPhone is "off." The mechanism takes advantage of the fact that wireless chips related to Bluetooth, Near-field communication (NFC), and ultra-wideband (UWB) continue to operate
Cybersecurity researchers have managed to build a clone of Apple Airtag that circumvents the anti-stalking protection technology built into its Find My Bluetooth-based tracking protocol
