BT the next hacking target?
BT was very confident yesterday that its new Fusion service is secure.
"All the data is encrypted with IPSec," stated project boss Ian Livingstone, as if that were case closed.
But IPSec has been cracked already and there are worrying rumours about Bluetooth too.
If the base station can broadcast 25 metres or more then there's the opportunity for everyone to share your phone connection, or bring it down if your late night call wakes them.
So watch this space, as BT may be heading for a security problem.
