So Windows and iOS already have patches out for this? Maybe my reading comprehension is poor but it sounds like it's safe to enable bluetooth for those patched devices.

    Armis disclosed the vulnerability to major vendors prior to the disclosure; fully patched Windows systems and Ios devices are protected, and an Android update is being pushed today for Google phones.

THIS particular vulnerability has been patched... after being around for four years or more.

But this won't be the last Bluetooth vulnerability discovered. It's shitty technology, poorly implemented, and now used in everything from refrigerators to cars.

This is just - yet another - warning about relying on Bluetooth.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up.
