HTC Windows Mobile Smartphones Vulnerable to Hacking via Bluetooth

I can’t believe it when I saw this article. It mentions that on certain models of HTC Windows Mobile Smartphones, there is a possibility of being hack via bluetooth.

The problem, according to source, is that HTC uses a hackable Bluetooth driver in many of its handsets (Windows Mobile).

This “obexfile.dll” driver is an HTC-specific driver that is vulnerable to “a directory traversal vulnerability in the Bluetooth OBEX FTP Service,” according to security boffin Alberto Moreno Tablado.

So, in future, you received a notification to accept something via Bluetooth, you have to be very careful (applies to all phones). In my opinion, just set your Bluetooth to invisible and that will save you a lot of trouble.
