Has anyone here experienced this? I'm in the train right now. As soon as i turn my bluetooth on i ' m getting loads of pop ups, asking me to pair with devices that probably do not exist. I also can't find a setting to disable pairing with divices.

Is it a virus? Is it a used vulnerability?

Either way annoying as fuck.

There's a flipper zero in the vicinity haha. They can emulate fast pair devices and spam your phone with connection popups.

Is your device discoverable as soon as you turn bluetooth on? You can get a bluetooth firewall from FruitMobile and it will warn you when your device is about to go into discovery mode and you can stop it.
