Bluetooth and Bluejacking

Posted by Michael Dale on Wed, 05 Oct 2005 3:50 PM

My new phone comes with bluetooth and it has been much fun. The first thing I did when I got the phone was to turn off "discoverable" mode. This allows anyone to send you files or contacts to your phone without pairing. My phone still asks you to accept the file even in discoverable mode.

I decided to switch on discoverable mode today to see I got anything (we do this in uni lectures with our laptops and send each other photos). Anyway I got a contact sent to me while I was on the bus home. It contained the following:

Name: http://bluejack.tech.nu/
Phone Number: 0405196447

Anyway the website has something about being bluejacked (meaning they successfully sent me a message, what fun). I don't know if the phone number is real, feel free to try ;)
