Hi everyone
I was showing my great N900 to my son and he asked me to activate Bluetooth and pair his phone (SG 5320). I did and then he showed me all my files in the home/user partition from his phone screen.
Moreover he was able to browse, move, transfer and delete(!) Files on my N900 from his Samsung phone. His phone had an extra protection for Folders as a standard so I could not impress him that much :-).
I know that this is not new, but two points caught my attention:
A. N900 cannot protect any of my folders from connected bluetooth devices
B. N900 did not even reacted with a warning that a connected phone was doing something....different and more dangerous than just sending a picture..
That said, it is very very easy to social engineer a N900 user into allowing a bluetooth connection.
Anyone with an idea how to solve this ? And yes... apologies if my question sounds stupid, but I do not want to chmod everytime someone sends me a file per bluetooth
thanks in advance for a hint on how to solve that...
best
