It seems that Bluetooth is not as secure as people think it is. I do think the majority of the world lives in this bubble where they believe that everything they do electronically is secure. You say to people do you have a firewall. They either respond with "umm, whats that" or "I turned that thing on in windows". Ok most people just don't know. Maybe they should learn or ask about stuff. It really annoys me when people get virus' and then they moan that they haven't done anything. Indeed they haven't - that is the problem. In the world we live in you need to have a firewall. If you don't have one you are screwed. Turn on the windows one - that is a start. The rest do some research. It will be worth it in the long run - seriously. Buy a router!

Back to Bluetooth. I was doing some reading around and I am not going to claim I understand half of this but heck it makes interesting reading. It appears that some Bluetooth phones are increasingly open to attack. Not a good thing. If you are concerned about your Bluetooth handset then check with your phone company. I know Nokia have released some patches already.
