Bluejacking

Bluejacking is a type of wireless messaging that occurs via Bluetooth technology. It involves sending unsolicited messages to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices, typically smartphones or headsets, within short range. Usually, the sender uses the Bluetooth contact list or messaging feature to send a brief message or note to someone else's device without prior contact or permission. While often playful or humorous, bluejacking can sometimes be intrusive or unwelcome. It highlights the importance of managing Bluetooth settings to prevent unsolicited connections and protect privacy.
