<p>In a Bluetooth Impersonation Attack (or BIAS), hackers can exploit weaknesses in the Bluetooth protocol to impersonate a trusted device. “BOSE QC Headphones” in the Bluetooth menu could be a low-orbiting ion cannon waiting for an end-user to connect to it before unleashing all sorts of damage.</p>



<p>This week, I want to again share how hackers can use Flipper Zero (https://9to5mac.com/guides/flipper-zero/) to send sneaky keystrokes to a Mac if a victim connects to a potentially malicious Bluetooth device. This isn’t going to be a complete tutorial since there are tons of guides out there already. Instead, I want to point out how easy it is to pull this off, to make you a bit more paranoid.</p>
