Recently Google and Apple announce in their collaboration to create a contact tracking application for it used to enable to trace all those who have come in contact with any corona-virus infect person.

This is one of the most brilliant ideas I have come across in other to fast trace infect people but it also became a death trap when Acronis co-founder and technology president Stas Protassov; said the Bluetooth software or app we have on our mobile device and laptop has reported several critical vulnerabilities in the past.

On February researcher discovered a Bluetooth bug on android 6.0 which patched was released recently, and several other device/mobile phone  with no security update for it users to update their device, leaving hacker easy access to hunt.

 Only install official apps," Protassov said
