(Contacts, sms storage etc.)Bluebugging: Remotely accessing mobile phone commands. (Can even switch off the mobile)Interception: Using special bluetooth devices to interrupt a connection (paired devices)Denial of Service: Constantly requesting something from the mobile until the mobile is out of its resources. (Maybe the bandwidth or the battery power etc.)Bluetooth Security Controls.Switching off the discoverable mode: No one can connect to any bluetooth equipped device if bluetooth is switched off in that deviceOnly pair devices in private: Never connect and do transactions in public placesNever pair with an unknown device: Always if someone is trying to connect to your device, you will get a message asking whether to accept the connection or reject the connection. So if you don't know who the other person is, then simply reject the connection.Walk away: This is the best control for bluetooth devices. If you see some weird thing is happening in your phone. Simply move from that place. Bluetooth devices can communicate maximum 30m. So if you go pass this, then definitely the connection will terminate.Source: Smart, B and IEEE Explore</blockquote>
