Billions of devices imperiled by new clickless Bluetooth attack (ars technica)

Ars technica reportson a set of just-disclosed Bluetooth vulnerabilities in multipleoperating systems."BlueBorne, as the researchers have dubbed their attack, is notable for its unusual reach and effectiveness. Virtually any Android, Linux, or Windows device that hasn't been recently patched and has Bluetooth turned on can be compromised by an attacking device within 32 feet. It doesn't require device users to click on any links, connect to a rogue Bluetooth device, or take any other action, short of leaving Bluetooth on."
