Your Bluetooth connection is unsafe. Very unsafe. That’s the message from the largest hacker convention.
Bluetooth, which is a wireless technology for connecting everything from wireless earphones to car entertainment systems, is hacker heaven.

“People can track you with your Bluetooth devices. The problem is chronic with devices like headphones [and] fitness trackers,” noted Security Boulevard in a post entitled “Securing devices for DEFCON,” adding that many Bluetooth devices “seem to have gaping holes just waiting to be hacked.”
