Don’t worry, these vulnerabilities have already been patched out. Back in September, Bluetooth-connected device owners got a little scare when security firm Armis disclosed a new hack exploit known as BlueBorne. In theory, bad actors could target smartphones, tablets and such using specific vectors in Bluetooth connectivity. Armis had informed Apple, Microsoft and Google months before and they patched up the vulnerabilities ahead of the news release. But today the firm disclosed that it wasn’t just handheld devices that might have been affected — Amazon’s Echo and Google Home were vulnerable, too.
