Is that what this is about? I saw the update in my update manager literally just after I saw you post this, goobster.

Edit: Also, stuff like this is why I tend to have Bluetooth turned off on default unless I'm actively using it. This isn't the first time I've heard about stuff like this.

Always have Bluetooth turned off. It's just safer that way. Bluetooth is weak tech with weak security that works just well enough to not be thrown out on its ear.
