From music to espionage: How wireless earbuds become a security vulnerability

Wireless headphones have become smart devices that connect to phones and computers via Bluetooth technology. They contain processors, microphones, and sensors, which make them vulnerable to cyberattacks due to software vulnerabilities and weak security updates. Flaws such as "Bluetooth" and "KNOB" enable potential disruption attacks or data exploitation, with a possible risk of turning them into eavesdropping tools if malicious software is used on connected devices. Experts advise updating software and applications regularly, reviewing permissions, and turning off Bluetooth when not needed to reduce risks—especially as their use in work and entertainment continues to increase.
