The beginning of the social networking sites makes a great
innovation to our society by enabling us to socialize and make friends
through the use of the internet. Along with this is a new problem of the
society in which it is hard to find out whether or not you are a victim
or not.
This is involves the issues of privacy which one's identity is being stolen. Security must be the first priority in every aspect of life and this must be considered by Bluetooth users.
Mobile phones are the most familiar device which uses the Bluetooth technology and it is the ones which is easy to hack. Bluetooth devices that are easily hacked are those which have a very poor security.
Bluetooth experts say that a hacker must do the following in order to hack a Bluetooth device:
1. Forcefully break the connection between two paired Bluetooth devices.
2. Steal the packets used to resend the pin.
3. Break the pin code
The hacking will not be successful if he is beyond the Bluetooth's signal range. To be able to avoid being hacked, experts suggest that you must use longer pins and pins that are hard to memorize. Pins that do not have an obvious pattern are mostly recommendable. An example of patterned pin is consecutive numbers such as 12345678.
The very most common security feature of Bluetooth devices is the "pairing process" in which two devices sharing files are paired by entering the same pin. Hackers cannot receive the files being sent if they entered the wrong pin.
Once paired, two Bluetooth devices can now send and received files and data communications using the Bluetooth technology without needing to enter the pin again because the devices are now paired unless one of the devices deleted the others from the "paired devices" menu.
If the two devices are not yet paired, the devices cannot transfer files and other data communications. This is one of the security features of Bluetooth. However, there are circumstances that two paired devices won't connect or they cannot communicate.
In this case, the reasons might be the devices are far beyond the Bluetooth's range or the Bluetooth device has some technical problems with its functionality.
No matter how secured your device, expert hackers find a way to penetrate and do their dirty works. Rumors say that they had just found a way to penetrate through the said security of Bluetooth. But don't be worried yet, software developers created a program that you can install to block hackers from getting in. No matter how the hackers get into your business, technology has always something to say. The battleground between hackers and technological advancements continues up to now.
