Tracking Low Energy Bluetooth Devices

How secure is your location while using a fitness tracker? One overlooked security issue is how wearables emit a persistent low energy Bluetooth signal exposing the device’s MAC address allowing anyone with an Android phone to track their location.

Watch in horror or amusement how I easily set up a device to track the breakroom usage of my co-workers by tracking their Bluetooth devices.

I’ve presented at HighEd Web (https://www.highedweb.org/), Beer City Code (http://beercitycode.com/), Higher Ed Experts (http://higheredexperts.com/), EduWeb (http://eduwebconf.com/) and received high marks from attendees. I have given other talks on:

• SEO
• Tracking Low Energy Bluetooth Devices
• The calming effects of Hops (in Beer)
