Bluesnarfing exploits vulnerabilities in the object exchange protocol used for Bluetooth device communication, involving hackers who use tools like Bluediving to detect susceptible devices. Once a vulnerable device is identified, hackers establish a connection and employ Bluesnarfing tools to extract data.
BlueBorne is a type of security vulnerability with Bluetooth implementations in Android, iOS, Linux and Windows. [1] [2] [3] It affects many electronic devices such as laptops, smart cars, smartphones and wearable gadgets.
Bluebugging is a form of Bluetooth attack often caused by a lack of awareness.
