Dangers On Bluetooth Mobiles
21 October 2008
Bluetooth mobiles can expose your mobile phone to greater risk than mobiles without Bluetooth mobile phone accessories. Downloading files from unknown parties is not a good idea, as viruses can be spread from mobile to mobile via Bluetooth. This actually makes them similar to human viruses as proximity is needed to pass on the infection. Just as you wouldn't let a stranger sneeze on you, don't take for granted that everything they send you will be safe. Even if they do not intend to infect your phone, they may be unaware that their phone carries a virus and will pass it on accidentally.
Be careful using Bluetooth mobiles and other mobile phone accessories that focus on unsecured communication between multiple systems, such as 3G Internet access.
