Bluetooth On? Beware! Your Phone Can Be Hacked in One Click

Hackers use methods like Bluejacking (sending unwanted content), BlueSnarfing (stealing data), and Bluebugging (taking full device control).
•
Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks intercept data transfers, while Eavesdropping allows hackers to listen to private conversations.

Stay safe: turn off Bluetooth when not in use, avoid unknown devices, keep software updated, and use strong PINs.
