Apparently a security flaw has been discovered in Bluetooth, one that seems to particularly affect some Nokia phones:
Nokia has confirmed that some of its Bluetooth-enabled cell phones are vulnerable to “bluesnarfing,” in which an attacker exploits a flaw to read, modify and copy a phone’s address book and calendar without leaving any trace of the intrusion. Networking and security company AL Digital said on Monday that it had discovered a security flaw in Bluetooth, a wireless data standard, that could allow such an attack. The flaw affects a number of Sony Ericsson, Ericsson and Nokia handsets, but some models—including a handful of Nokia phones—are at greater risk because they invite attack even when in “invisible mode,” according to AL Digital.
