• Security researchers have discovered new Bluetooth security flaws that allow hackers to impersonate devices and perform man-in-the-middle attacks.

  • The vulnerabilities impact all devices with Bluetooth 4.2 through Bluetooth 5.4, including laptops, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and others.

  • Users can do nothing at the moment to fix the vulnerabilities, and the solution requires device manufacturers to make changes to the security mechanisms used by the technology.

    I have a shortcut setup to turn it off and have the 3 tap on the back gesture to activate it. It’s always off unless I need it.

      I did this too, but via Siri. Asking her to “disable WiFi” permanently turns it off because of the shortcut I created.
