Comment on Detroit man steals 800 gallons using Bluetooth to hack gas pumps at station

It does not complicate things in a way that makes things less secure than using Bluetooth 4.0 or earlier.
USB is way safer.
It’s amusing that you won’t just give up and admit that the blanket statement is 100% accurate. But you do you; just remind me not to use any services that you’re on the opsec team for.

Am just telling you there are ways to do security properly and make it good, be it Bluetooth, WIFI, GSM, LAN or USB. There’s no such thing as blanket 100% correct statements. I distinctly remember security issues with USB when protocol allowed DMA access which was used to leak all kinds of important data. Luckily it was patch fast, but that is the doing security properly part. There’s nothing completely secure in this world.

And you still won’t agree to the simple and obvious truth that USB is way safer than Bluetooth 4.0 or earlier. Nice.
You do you.

Why would I agree to something that’s not correct. You just pulled that out of your ass and claiming it’s true.
