You just scared the crap out of me with this post. lol I feel like Big Brother is watching me now through my laptop camera. Not a good feeling to have at all. lol How do you protect yourself from it? I mean what do you use on your devices to limit the risks of getting infected by this virus?

BIG BROTHER IS watching
@awakentolife , have you watched the movie
I know he is, but this post just reminded me of it. lol
I have masking tape on my webcam, have done so for some time.
Thanks for your reply, apologies for alarming you but I'm glad you're alert now ;)
BlueBorne is a vulnerability (aka Attack Vector) in the Bluetooth standard that can be exploited by malicious code/actors. As yet no such malware is known to exist, but the attack vector definitely exists.
In light of this it is best to be prudent and exercise caution (see below).
As well as watching for device/software/OS patches I would also consider disabling Bluetooth on all devices, until absolutely needed, then disabling again after use, until such time as each device has ben patched and confirmed as no longer vulnerable.
Security is a practice.
Basically, I have to watch my Bluetooth usage and make sure I turn it off when I am finished. I usually don't use a lot of Bluetooth expect when I connect my wireless speaker to my phone or laptop. Besides that, I am not using it really.
Thank you for the tips brother. Have an amazing day. :)
That's the way, keep Bt disabled until needed, or if there's another means like stereo 3.5mm cable use that instead, but don't forget to look for news of patches for your device(s)/OS(s)/software and apply them if/when available.
