The last time I opened my bluetooth my phone got some messages and when I open it my phone were damage already of viruses and it took me awhile before I found someone who can repair it so it is not advisable really to leave your bluetooth open.

If a phone is already paired with a headset, can that phone be bluejacked? I am new to all this and got a BT enabled phone only recently.

@aswath In many phone implementations, you can only pair with one device at a time. However, I would not rely on that fact for security since I am sure there are ways for a determined hacker to disrupt it.

well, I wonder what was the purpose to show off 770 as kewl-hacker device – it’s BT chip had promiscuous mode not-enabled on silicon level, yet… the general message of this video is proper one.
