2 weeks agoSony, Anker, and other headphones have a serious Google Fast Pair security vulnerability
Researchers from KU Leuven University's Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography group in Belgium discovered several vulnerabilities in Google's Fast Pair protocol that can allow a hacker within Bluetooth range to secretly pair with some headphones, earbuds, and speakers. The attacks, which the researchers have collectively dubbed WhisperPair, can even be used on iPhone users with affected Bluetooth devices despite Fast Pair being a Google-specific feature.
