What is bluebugging?
Bluebugging is a variant of the term hacking. It can prove to be quite dangerous for the users. In this, hackers can access the content on the victim’s device. Can also access bank app or wallet app.
Under bluebugging, malware is installed in the victim’s phone. First, hackers connect to your phone by looking for open Bluetooth. The problem is that they also bypass your phone’s lock. In such a case, neither you nor any victim knows that someone has made a connection with the phone.

Once the connection is made, hackers inject malware into the phone. After this, all the permissions of the phone are acquired through that malware. After getting the permission, obviously the hacker can also see all the secret photos on your phone.

Once it gets control of the phone, it can do everything from recording your call to screen recording. The police have warned many times about blue bugging.

How to stop bluebugging
— To prevent bluebugging it is important that users do not accept connection request from any unknown device. The first pairing request comes to transfer data to the device. Sometimes the phone connects without seeing the pairing request, so keep Bluetooth off if not in use.

— Remove any pre-paired devices you don’t use.

Turn off the auto join option by going to Bluetooth settings, as this will prove to be the most dangerous for you.

– Have strong password for bluetooth connection, usually people keep 1234… or just password, don’t make this mistake and choose strong password.

— Keep device software updated and use a paid VPN (Virtual Private Network) if possible (if your budget allows).

Turn off Bluetooth in public places
If you are not using Bluetooth in public places, it should be turned off. With this, the security of the users will remain intact.

Check the bluetooth download file
In the smartphone, the apps or data coming to the phone through Bluetooth are saved in one place. In such a case, you can check that data by going to file manager or phone memory, if found suspicious, you can delete it immediately.
