Bluetooth is useful when transferring information between two or more devices that are near each other in low-bandwidth situations. Bluetooth is commonly used to transfer sound data with telephones (i.e., with a Bluetooth headset) or byte data with hand-held computers (transferring files).
Most domestic microwave ovens operate by emitting a very high power signal in the 2.4 GHz band. Older devices have poor shielding, [14] and often emit a very "dirty" signal over the entire 2.4 GHz band. [a] This can cause considerable difficulties to Wi-Fi and video [16] transmission, resulting in reduced range or complete blocking of the signal.
This attack also uses Bluetooth advertising packets to repeatedly send notification signals to iPhones and iPads running iOS 17. It uses a Flipper Zero running third-party Xtreme firmware. It functions even when the device is in airplane mode , and can only be avoided by disabling Bluetooth from the device's Settings app .
