Found a hole in Bluetooth, which allows you to hack the device with the operating system Apple and Microsoft
Researchers at Boston University have discovered a serious vulnerability in the Bluetooth communication protocol in Apple and Microsoft gadgets that allows attackers to track and identify devices.
