#Bluetooth was a mistake: Millions of Bluetooth headphones can potentially be turned in eavesdropping devices. Best-seller #Sony and #Bose #headphones are affected by at least some of the disclosed flaws among many others. The true dimension of these flaws is yet unknown as the the vulnerable component is very widely in use under different names.https://www.heise.de/en/news/Zero-day-Bluetooth-gap-turns-millions-of-headphones-into-listening-stations-10460704.htmlDisclosure of the vulnerabilities: https://insinuator.net/2025/06/airoha-bluetooth-security-vulnerabilities/No updates or official statements available yet. ☠️ #Security #Privacy #Audio #Airoha #ZeroDay

@cryptgoat Bluetooth As Hack Vector:"Real attacks are complex to perform, they cannot be done over the Internet or randomly. An attack would require the following:Be physically very close to you Exploit multiple technical steps perfectly without being noticed, requiring a high technical skill set.This kind of attack only makes sense for high-value targets:End-users need to patch their headphone firmware."

@cryptgoat Absolutely, I don't want to take any of that away, I just wanted to help educate folks.Same way laser-equipped mice can be used as microphones, I don't want folks tossing mice and bt gear... but thinking about better options (or scripts/tools to mitigate).
