Bluetooth vulnerability
THE HON DAN TEHAN MP
Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Cyber Security Dan Tehan said today the Australian Government had notified device manufacturers about a reported Bluetooth vulnerability, being referred to as ‘BlueBorne’.
Mr Tehan said the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) was aware of the vulnerability but at this stage was not aware that it was being exploited.
“The vulnerabilities reported are concerning and device manufacturers have been notified and are working on updates to fix the vulnerabilities,” Mr Tehan said.
“The ACSC recommends that all users apply the latest software security updates to their devices.
“Device owners should consider disabling Bluetooth functionality on your device where it isn't required.”
