Would've been cooler if they called it BlueBourne.

But then again, there might be copyright issues...

I have not read where any fix has been made.

In my industry, this is significant. We use Bluetooth a lot and this vulnerability potentially gives access to our clients sensitive information.

I've always had the habit of turning off bluetooth if it's on by default. If i want to use it, I then turn it on, and then off again when done.

The patches to the operating systems seem slow to be released, but in many instances, have been released. I'm not sure how consumers will be able to update some of the devices. The main players, such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, Linux, appear to have issued patches, however, I know someone with bluetooth in their TV and soundbar, and I don't think there's a way for them to check.

I have playback devices with Bluetooth 3.0 made by Onkyo I that isn't WiFi connected to get an update. Still waiting for a response from them.

I have 2 Sanyo TVs and both have received OS updates in the last couple weeks, so I assume the bug has been fixed.

My MS devices I wasn't worried about. MS is always quick with security.

As do I but it seems this bug didn't need anything to be active or connected to allow the perp access.

Still not sure about my Google Home or my Chrome sticks & outlet connectors.

sigh... My new hearing aids are "BlueTooth-enabled".
I'm sure the spammers are salivating at the opportunity
to drive spam direct to my ear drums...

Do I even use Bluetooth? I thought all my devices had died, one by one, to be replaced with non-bluetooth variants.

Oh, right, there's my original Apple mouse, which I use only as a remote control when watching movies on the computer. So when I'm in that top menu bar adjusting the System sound, I can concurrently turn Bluetooth on--and then turn it off again when the movie is done.
