So far, most people have considered Bluetooth a safe method to transfer data. Ok; not perfectly safe, but rather safe.

Or so I thought, until I saw this presentation:

Essentially, the pairing process isn’t safe anymore, most Windows stacks(especially WidComm) have severe bugs that cannot be patched, a few popular phones have very severe problems and so on.

If you have a bluetooth device, this is a must read!
