      Ok, well I’m not going to stop using my fitness band or Android auto because I’m a paranoid person. Might as well never leave your home and never use any devices connected to the internet.

          If you’re not implying that, then your reply was pointless.

            It wasn’t pointless. It was to make you and others aware that, as the message said, its a security vulnerability, so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to keep it on or not.

              What was the point of your comment then if not a veiled suggestion to turn it off?

                This is an online discussion forum, the point of the comment was to educate the public about the downsides of having BT on at all times. I am not sure why @Polar got some butthurt about basic info sharing. If this info not relevant, move on… why spazz? People who care will act upon this info as they deem necessary.

                Also, conflating informational comment with a call for action is immature, at best.
