"New Android App Enables Bluetooth Spam Attacks, Inspired by Flipper Zero"

A software developer has created an Android app called 'Bluetooth-LE-Spam' that can generate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) advertisement packages to spam nearby Windows and Android devices, similar to the Flipper Zero Bluetooth spam attacks. The app can broadcast connection requests at frequent intervals, potentially disrupting devices and causing denial of service attacks. While the app is still in early development, it has been confirmed to work as advertised. Users can turn off notifications by adjusting settings on their Android or Windows devices. However, caution is advised when testing the app on personal devices due to potential security risks.

Flipper Zero Expands Bluetooth Alert Spam to Android and Windows Devices

Flipper Zero, a custom firmware, now has a feature called "Xtreme" that allows it to perform Bluetooth spam attacks on Android and Windows devices. This spam attack involves spoofing advertising packets and sending them to devices in range, causing confusion and disruption with non-stop notifications. While these attacks are more of an annoyance than a real threat, users can block these notifications on Android and Windows devices. It is important to be aware of the potential for phishing and know how to stop the notifications to avoid frustration.
