BBC Three’s “The Real Hustle: Real Scams” has placed Bluetooth at the top of their list of scams:

Bluetooth is great for swapping photos with friends or connecting your mobile to a laptop. But did you also know that while you are accessing another person’s device with your Bluetooth, a hustler could be hacking into your mobile using an inexpensive PDA and software downloaded off the net?

Amazing that this would be listed above financial fraud…

In the UK, a fraudulent bankcard transaction takes place every seven seconds.

Wonder if anyone has an estimate of the rate of bluetooth attacks. Might be fun to do a sample or study just to see.
