Hi, there has been articles on Bluetooth security before 2003. Since then, I could not find any more updates on this risk. My question to the forum is are there still risk in bluetooth technology and does it apply to notebook with bluetooth enabled.

i believe there still is a threat, sorry i can't point you in any specific direction but there are programs that run even on mobile devices that can hack into any bluetooth enabled device and "explore" the contents of the device...my best suggestion would be to only enable it when you are using it, otherwise keep it disabled (this also saves battery life Very Happy)
