** Reply to message from "Lewis G Rosenthal" <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com> on Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:51:16 -0400Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself, Doug.
Believe nothing is secure, yes even wires are not secure, and you'll have to accept that
there is some acceptable level of security for each and every type of connection and
session of data transmission across that connection.
One more thing, this all reminds me of how people seem to now associate credit card fraudPerfect analogy. People are the most insecure components, not the technology. Heck, turn the phone off if you're that worried!! :-D
with "identity theft". I don't know who started it but the press is must plain dumb about incorrectly labeling things as "identity theft". And they did a nice job at labeling Bluetooth with
"insecurity". There were a few stories of how some techie was able to find and connect to cell phones running Bluetooth and do things like make calls and download phone numbers.
There were all cases where the phone or phone user left the Bluetooth radio in Discoverable
Mode. It was like placing your laptop on you front door landing inside your house and leaving
your front door wide open and blaming your door lock manufacturer when the laptop is stolen.
Lewis has it right and if you don't believe that, Google is your friend( ie search for more info ).;-)
