Proximity-based attacks exploit devices near the attacker. Disabling unnecessary features like Bluetooth or NFC can mitigate such risks.
Proximity-based attacks are a type of security threat where attackers exploit the close physical proximity of a device to carry out malicious actions. In such attacks, attackers may attempt to intercept data or establish unauthorized connections with the target device. By disabling unnecessary features like Bluetooth or NFC (Near Field Communication), users can reduce the likelihood of falling victim to proximity-based attacks as these features can be used by attackers to gain access to devices or data without the user’s knowledge. It is always recommended to be cautious and vigilant about the features and connections enabled on your devices to enhance security and protect against potential threats.
