Nokia has confirmed that some of its Bluetooth-enabled cell phones are vulnerable to 'bluesnarfing,' in which an attacker exploits a flaw to read, modify and copy a phone's address book and calendar without leaving any trace of the intrusion.
Networking and security company AL Digital said on Monday that it had discovered a security flaw in Bluetooth, a wireless data standard, that could allow such an attack. The flaw affects a number of Sony Ericsson, Ericsson and Nokia handsets, but some models--including a handful of Nokia phones--are at greater risk because they invite attack even when in 'invisible mode,' according to AL Digital.
Bluesnarf and Bluesnarf download and security patch request.
