Security researchers have discovered new Bluetooth security flaws that allow hackers to impersonate devices and perform man-in-the-middle attacks.

The vulnerabilities impact all devices with Bluetooth 4.2 through Bluetooth 5.4, including laptops, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and others.

Users can do nothing at the moment to fix the vulnerabilities, and the solution requires device manufacturers to make changes to the security mechanisms used by the technology.
