Protect Your Phone S Bluetooth Connection. Set Bluetooth To "Hidden". by Carlcaresophia: 6:46am On Jan 31, 2015 |
If you have got Bluetooth switched on, on your mobile phone, and your phone is not set to "hidden", chances are you are open to bluejacking, bluesnarfing or bluebugging. What does this mean? Read on below. Bluejacking - the sending of unwanted messages from one Bluetooth device to another. While bluejacking is normally harmless, often people who receive these types of messages do not know what has happened, and may think that someone has taken over their phone. Bluesnarfing - the unauthorized access of information from a wireless device (such as a mobile phone) through a Bluetooth connection. By "hacking" into the phone, someone can have access to the calendar, pictures, contacts, text messages, and any other content stored on the phone. Bluebugging - another form of Bluetooth attack, in which someone takes control of your phone, to call their phone. This means that someone can simply listen to any conversation their victim is having in real life. Further development of bluebugging tools has allowed users to totally take over their victim s phone, making calls and sending text messages from the victim s phone. By turning off Bluetooth when you are not using it, and/or by setting your phone s Bluetooth settings to "hidden", you can remove the risk of these threats. |

Oladipupo22:Hi! Did you try to move your apps to SD card? Or you can try to restore factory settings, but remember to back up important files. If the problem still exists, you can take your phone to our Carlcare Service Center and ask our colleagues to check the problem for you. If you need us to send you the contact information of our service center, pls tell us the city and country you're living in now. Thank you! |
