“BlueBorne” New Vulnerability –Malware via
Bluetooth
Hello friends,
Today I would like to share you something about the new malware called
BlueBorne which is transmitted through Bluetooth network of your phone or any device that can be connected through, We all
use Bluetooth to sync some of our devices and sometimes to share files and
folders from device to device.
Usually
while we are using Bluetooth to communicate between two devices. We pair
between them and then we do our work, but in the case of BlueBorne attack,the
Hacker directly can take access to your device and can spread malware though it.
Bluetooth is used in almost all the devices of various OS like Android IOS
Windows or even Linux.
Leaving the
blueborne aside we also see many other malicious suspects in our devices which
are transmitted due to our own actions such as clicking unwanted or irrelevant
links our downloading malicious software and Games
. These are transmitted by
our actions but in the case of Blueborne it’s different. Without even your
actions and effort the virus will be transmitted in your device and get total
access over it. The virus will spread from one device to another device if the
connected device is infected with Blueborne virus so after getting infected
there are chances that your private data might go into the hackers hands..The
phone will be in your hand but will be controlled by hacker in behind the
scenes…It is estimated that approximately 5.3 Billion devices are affected by
the Blueborne vulnerability all our the world..
How to
be safe:
*Try not to
use Bluetooth for all the sharing purposes, If possible use any other
alternative in place of Bluetooth.
*Turn off
the Bluetooth immediately after the use.
*Don’t accept
the unknown devices to pair with your devices.
*Many big
companies like apple and Samsung are ready to fight over it as they have been
making patches for the blueborne in their updates…
*If you use
a device that doesn’t get any updates make sure to keep the bluetoothe whenever
it’s not in use…
