How do you Bluejack?

[Rufstuf]

A guy in my work has just hacked my phone and told me what music and pics I have on my phone !! I have a W800i and he says they're piss easy to get into
How is this done?

By leaving your bluetooth switched on, I think. Lad at work has a bluetooth dongle thing with a 100m range, if people phones aren't passkey protected its easy.


No doubt a "proper expert" will shoot me down in flames saying thats not it.

ya can do it on some samsungs i did it at a party once ,,, found a dodgy photo on a lass's phone i knew her btw ,,,, if you are paired with it by bluetooth already sometimes ya dont need to keep entering a passkey.
got the photo on my phone and went up to her and said " who is this lol" she was very embaresed...........

I'm not sure about claims that some phones can simply be got into... but as marksman says there are certain phones (notably Samsungs) that when you send them a file they insist on actually pairing with your phone, and what people don't realise is their phone is then browsable from the other phone, often without even indicating on the screen that something is happening!

I got a program on my phone to do this. I send messages to peoples phones when I'm in pubs etc

exactly ,,, once your paired with a phone or pc sometimes you dont need a passkey,and thats when you can pull things off them...

Yeah that's what's happening. He was sending me a vid from his Samsung d500, so I had to pair devices with him, and since then he can just go into my phone and take what he likes. No request for authorisation or anything. My screen doesnt even light up!

^ delete the pairing !

Yeah I will be doing that!
I just did a search for this and found out how to bluejack at parties/on buses etc. Basically, you go into your phonebook and create a new contact, except you name the contact "hi, how are you" or something. You then click "more", select "send contact details via bluetooth" then search for devices. Send it to the one you fancy and voila, you are paired with them. Then you can browse their files.
Pretty scary (If it is that simple)

You cant do that on all phones... mainly samsungs i thought, nokias have a different way of connecting???

I always leave my bluetooth disabled.

Especially since I saw that one episode of 'Hustler'. Hustler Jess
