Advice For Using Bluetooth Be Careful

Recommended Posts

A few years ago, I had a new phone for about a week and it suddenly stopped working. I took it to my phone shop and they said the phone had been currupted with a virus.I've learnt since then that the virus was sent through Bluetooth. The most common of bluetooth viruses is called Blooover/Blooover 2. It can be downloaded all over the internet and then sent to other phones via your phone.ALWAYS - keep your bluetooth hidden unless someone asks you to change your statusNEVER -accept data from someone you do not knowI hope this prevents anyone making the mistake I did, let me know if you've had previous experience of this and wether you think that what I have said is worthwhile.By the way, there are many many more viruses and hacking software out there for mobile phones, so dont let people see your on bluetooth.
