Snarf Attack

The Snarf attack, also called bluesnarfing, is a Bluetooth-enabled hacking technique that allows hackers to access another Bluetooth device without the victim's knowledge. This attack raises obvious concerns, similar to Bluejacking where the attack gains access to the victims phone book, missed, received or dialled contacts. It is also possible for the attacker to use the phones commands through their own phone.
