> the researchers find that the Bluetooth chip is not well protected, and its firmware could be analyzed and altered by an iPhone user with privileged access. While this is a complex process, it may also lead to discovering and exploiting new vulnerabilities that would introduce even more risk. It would be great if Apple would address the Bluetooth chip weakness and migrate to better firmware security.
Good for radio baseband attackers and harvesters (including nearby Apple devices tracking "Find My Phone") of WiFi and Bluetooth device presence.
