A report issued by the “MASHABLE” website revealed a dangerous security vulnerability in the “ESP 32” Bluetooth slices manufactured by the Chinese company Esperesv, which is widely used in smart devices, threatening more than a billion devices around the world, where infiltrators can use it to access personal data and carry out electronic attacks.
The cybersecurity team warned from “Tarlagk” that the infiltrators can take advantage of this gap to impersonate the trusted devices and access the devices that operate through the Bluetooth SIM, and once accessful, infiltrators can spy on the data stored on the devices, including sensitive information, and even tracking devices.
Malignant orders targeting the “ESP 32” slide
The vulnerability allows infiltrators to carry out malicious orders targeting the “ESP 32” chip, which is used to connect to Wi -Fi and Bluetooth networks. Through these orders, infiltrators can carry out the impersonation attacks, leakage of secret data, and stay in constant contact with devices to continue spying.
According to the report, this vulnerability threatens billions of devices around the world, especially those that depend on the “ESP 32” chip for wireless communication, and experts have warned that electronic attacks that use this gap can lead to great losses in personal data and sensitive information.
Cyber security experts advise users to update their devices regularly, avoid connecting unknown Bluetooth devices, and monitor suspicious activities on their devices. It is also recommended to follow the security instructions issued by manufacturers to reduce the risk of penetration.
