Some Bluetooth phones & PDA’s have easy round-trips of the user-to-user PIN code, set up when devices initially pair.

Aimed at the right phone, you’d be able to pull a phone book over very quickly, then start on any other media files etc etc etc.

You could sync your files with stranger’s in yards.

The US has a pretty low pickup of Bluetooth, and mobile technologies. European markets that use cellular tecnologies for micropayments, that appear on paper bills or auto-deduct from pre-paid sims are obviously more at risk of having any vunerabilities exploited.

But what if you’ve got a desktop or laptop with a bluetooth component? How easy would it be to exploit a Window’s laptop? I nmy experience is hard enough getting Window’s to function comfortably with a Bluetooth expansionmy mobile, let alone someone a few feet (or more away) with a gun - but who knows?
