Bluesnarfing---security threat

 Bluesnarfing[sintuhack]
Bluesnarfing is the theft of data from a Bluetooth phone.Like Bluejacking, Bluesnarfing depends on the ability of Bluetooth-enabled devices to detect and contact others nearby.[sintuhack].In theory, a Bluetooth user running the right software on their laptop can discover a
nearby phone, connect to it without your confirmation, and download your phonebook,[sintuhack],
pictures of contacts and calendar.Your mobile phone’s serial number can also be downloaded and used to clone the phone.

You should turn off Bluetooth or set it to “undiscoverable”.[sintuhack] The undiscoverable setting
allows you to continue using Bluetooth products like headsets, but means that your
phone is not visible to others.
