Hacking in Mobiles

Mobile hacking has undergone many changes and one such hacking is known asBluesnarfing.Bluesnarfing is the unauthorised access of information from a wireless device through a bluetooth connection often between phones,desktops and laptops.It allows access to the calendar,contact list,emails and text messages,and on some phones users can steal pictures and private videos.It was first identified by Marcel Holtmann who is the maintainer and the core developer of the official Linux Bluetooth stack which is called BlueZ.So everyone using bluetooth mobiles be careful.Any device with the bluetooth connection can be attacked.By turning off this feature,the potential victim can be safer from the possibility of being bluesnarfed.
