Fast Pair flaw exposes Bluetooth devices to hijacking • The Register

A flaw in Google's Fast Pair system has been discovered, leaving hundreds of millions of wireless earbuds, headphones, and speakers vulnerable to hijacking. Researchers at KU Leuven found that many Bluetooth accessories claiming support for Fast Pair fail to properly enforce one of its most basic safety checks, allowing attackers to pair their devices without the owner ever touching the pairing button. Google has been working with manufacturers on fixes, but some patches are now trickling out as firmware updates, though coverage is patchy.
