I have already put a ticket to CAT support, but for all that have not came across the issue I would like to avoid you. There came up that there is a huge lack in security of Bluetooth protocol that allows hackers to easily get control over the phones and other devices with turned it on. Until there have been patch prepared and installed the safest is to completely disable Bluetooth since it can be done even with devices in "invisible mode". I know that this solution is not acceptable for many of us, but lets minimalise the risk by turning Bluetooth as long as it is acceptable.

You can get more information at https://www.armis.com/blueborne/#/general

I believe that the more tickets CAT support will receive fastest the patch will be released, so please put tickets about it.



By the way: it will be great functionality of system if there can be set automatic rules for turning on/off Bluetooth - like with for example "do not disturb mode"
