Image AI Generated A team of researchers from the Eurocom center has uncovered a series of vulnerabilities in Bluetooth protocols, collectively named BLUFFS (Bluetooth Forward and Future Secrecy Attacks and Defenses).  These vulnerabilities, affecting Bluetooth versions 4.2 to 5.4, pose a serious risk to a wide range of devices.
