What is the best method to prevent Bluetooth from being exploited?

  • Always disable Bluetooth when it is not being used
  • Always use a VPN when connecting with Bluetooth
  • Only use Bluetooth to connect to another smartphone or tablet
  • Only use Bluetooth when connecting to a known SSID

Explanation: Don’t forget that the Bluetooth wireless protocol, found on many smartphones and tablets, can also be exploited by hackers to eavesdrop, establish remote access controls, distribute malware and drain batteries.
