“BlueBorne” New Vulnerability –Malware via Bluetooth

 “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…
