This week, it was discovered that there was a nasty collection of vulnerabilities that impact devices with Bluetooth connectivity. Armis Labs had discovered this attack vector was present on all major consumer operating systems (Windows, Linux, iOS, Android) no matter what type of device it is (desktop, laptop, smartphone, tablet, wearable, IoT). If you have a device with Bluetooth (except those using only Bluetooth Low Energy) that's running an unpatched version of the software then it is vulnerable to BlueBorne.

The folks over at Armis Labs has just revealed a new attack vector that targets unpatched Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux devices with Bluetooth enabled. The exploit has been named BlueBorne since it targets devices with Bluetooth connectivity and  spread through the air (airborne) and attacks devices via said protocol. It is quite nasty as it is able to compromise the most popular operating systems and will infect all types of devices (smartphones, IoT, PCs, etc).
