"The
ABC has revealed a major cybersecurity flaw in Bluetooth-enabled police
tasers and body-worn cameras that means officers can be tracked.
The exposé shows how anyone can use simple software tools to detect the
presence of a police officer carrying one of these pieces of equipment. Not
only can you detect their presence, but it is possible to track their location
over time – representing a potential threat, especially to those operating
covertly.
But if police equipment can be tracked via Bluetooth, what about your phone,
watch and headphones which use the same technology? Can they also be used to
track you using simple software tools?
The short answer is yes. The long answer is a bit more complicated."
