Hundreds of Millions of Audio Devices Need a Patch to Prevent Wireless Hacking and Tracking | WIRED

Researchers at KU Leuven University have discovered vulnerabilities in 17 models of audio accessories using Google’s Fast Pair Bluetooth protocol, enabling hackers to hijack devices within Bluetooth range. These vulnerabilities, collectively called WhisperPair, allow attackers to take control of speakers and microphones, track users' locations, and disrupt audio streams or phone conversations. Google and several affected manufacturers have released patches, but widespread adoption remains uncertain.
