superfly

its the new craze for people with bluetooth devices and sounds fun but could have serious implications if taken to the extreme for maliciousness

In simple terms, bluejacking is the art of anonymously sending messages to users of other Bluetooth devices who have switched on the technology and made their handset "visible" to potential bluejackers

Recipients must, however, accept the incoming data and, as such, bluejackers are unable to send long messages, since they may be refused. The get around this, the sender could set their username as "You have just been Bluejacked!" so that would-be victims receive a message along the lines of "Income message from: 'You have just been Bluejacked.' Would you like to accept?"

Though certainly an annoyance, bluejacking does not pose a security threat and individuals wishing to avoid the aggravation can set their device to "invisible" or can simply shut off Bluetooth when not using it

Hey you guys,

I got a Sony Ericsson T610 last September and I've done a lot of Bluejacking since!

One point: The Receiver DOESN'T have to accept or reject your message. I do it by creating a "Task" with my message as the subject (it can be really long too) and send this bia bluetooth. It then just comes up on the person's screen, not saying where it came from!! it's great.

I did it in Derry one day sending Sinn Fein logos and Fields of Athenry ringtone!!!

PM me if you guys hav any questions.
