MSNBC has produced a really frightening news story about people who use Bluetooth technology with their cell phones.
We've all seen the person at the airport with the little electronic dongle in his ear...wirelessly talking on his cell phone. For some, it's a matter of convenience, for others, it's the ultimate geek-chic statement. Sort of the 21st century equivalent of wearing one of those big chronograph watches. They don't really need it, but they think it makes them look fascinating.
What you may not know is that Bluetooth is very easy for hackers to intercept. The small earpieces are fairly secure. What are not secure are the car units that allow total hands free use of your phone. They are constantly transmitting, even when you are not on the phone.
What does this mean? It means that every conversation you have in your Bluetooth-enabled car could be hacked, listened to and even recorded, whether you're on the phone or not.
