Will not crash or restart, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phone measured Flipper Zero Bluetooth pop-up attack

CTOnews.com, November 7 (Xinhua) Mishaal Rahman (Mishaal Rahman) recently tweeted on the X (Twitter) platform that Flipper Zero, which can launch a Bluetooth pop-up attack on iPhone, will not cause a crash or restart for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra phones.

CTOnews.com previously reported that a $170 Flipper Zero attack tool could send fake radio signals to devices such as nearby smartphones and achieve a denial of service (denial-of-service) attack through dense Bluetooth pop-up windows.

In addition, developers have created an Android application that simulates Flipper Zero. Interested users can click on the relevant reading at the bottom of this article to learn more.

Based on the test, Google Fast Pair uses low-power Bluetooth (BLE) to detect nearby accessories and pair them. The system detects spam attacks and stops displaying device pairing pop-ups after a period of time.

Samsung's Nearby Device Scanning won't stop the attack, but it won't cause the phone to crash or restart.
