Bluejacking allows phone users to send business cards anonymously using
Bluetooth wireless technology. Bluejacking does not
involve the removal or alteration of any
data from the
device. These business
cards often have a clever or flirtatious message rather than the typical name
and phone number. Bluejackers often look for the receiving phone to
ping or the
user to react. They then send another, more personal message to that device.
Once again, in order to carry out a bluejacking, the sending and receiving
devices must be within 10 meters of one another. Phone owners who receive
bluejack messages should refuse to add the contacts to their address book.
Devices that are set in non-discoverable mode are not susceptible to bluejacking.
