28-Jun-2018It's a offline virus attack. now a days Bluetooth is everywhere. Smartphones,laptops,digital camera, printers,smart TVs,cars and others IoT devices,they all come with this wireless technology and can easily connect between them. But its security is not enough .BlueBorne is a virus attack it's spreads through air and gets into a device via bluetooth and can harm to the device. The targeted device does not need to be paired to the attacker’s device or even to be set on discoverable mode. If your bluetooth is on and you are in vicinity of already infected device, then the attack virus will get easily transferred to your device without asking for any permission. Thus, it needs zero human interaction and no internet connection
