Google warns Bluetooth Titan security keys can be hijacked by nearby hackers
- wahern 7y agoWhile the bluetooth stack on the Titan is probably well written, that's not the case more generally. Clearly even Google couldn't get it right the first time around, and they were merely tasked with implementing the simplest possible mode of the protocol. I wouldn't enable bluetooth on my smartphone or laptop while in public. Bluetooth driver stacks receive less attention than cellular comms or WiFi stacks, and those are already bug ridden nightmares.
- nokya 7y agoAnyone would care to explain the error? I read the description of the incident on Google's online security blog (https://security.googleblog.com/2019/05/titan-keys-update.html https://security.googleblog.com/2019/05/titan-keys-update.ht...) but the article only mentions the flaw was "due to a configuration error"...
