How to tell if your mobile is affected by BlueBorne

[OyaYansa]

In recent days we are telling you that a dangerous Bluetooth vulnerability called BlueBorne has been detected that could have affected more than 8,200 devices, including Android and iOS mobiles, computers, wearables and any other device with Bluetooth connectivity. This was revealed at the beginning of this week a group of researchers from the security company Armis Lab, causing all alarms to jump at that time. Quickly the worry has begun to settle among users: just have the Bluetooth enabled for the attack to occur. If you want to know if your Android terminal has been affected by BlueBorne, there is an app that tells you.

The modus operandi of this new threat goes beyond the known: take full control of the terminals and access the data and networks (the secure ones too) through the air invisibly. No interaction with the user is required (accessing a specific website to activate), it is compatible with all software versions and has focused attention on the main operating systems, that is, practically most of them.

While Microsoft and Android have released security patches called CVE-2017-8628, reacting quickly to this security hole and are valid for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2016, other ways exist to find out if your Android terminal has been attacked by BlueBorne.

One of them is the free BlueBorne Vulnerability Scanner app. With it we can check if our Android device has been threatened by this vulnerability. To verify, the first step is to download and install it on your Android mobile phone from the Google Play app store.

Once you have it, press the button to analyze and in a few seconds it tells you if it is vulnerable or not.

Another interesting feature of this application is to analyze Bluetooth devices that are around you, without necessarily Android phones.

Among them are speakers, Bluetooth headsets, televisions or any other gadget with this connectivity. The results are displayed on the radar with colors: green means little risk while red warning of danger

Are your devices (Android phones and iOS, computers, speakers, etc.) affected by this new threat called BlueBorne that spreads via Bluetooth?
