"Bluetooth LE’s Anti-Tracking Technology Beaten"

In a new study that was conducted, researchers discovered a way around the Media Access Control (MAC) address randomization feature used by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which protects users and their devices from being identified and tracked. The researchers were able to obtain the identifying tokens and the MAC address of devices using Bluetooth Low Energy.  Once this is complete the attacker can continue tracking the identifying tokens and the Mac address through subsequent transmissions.  It is important to start to take bluetooth security seriously, especially as more and more devices are beginning to use bluetooth technology.
