Two billion devices are still exposed to the Blueborne vulnerabilities found within the Bluetooth system in 2018, according to security research company Armis. No laptop or mobile device using Android, Windows, Linux or iOS was thought to be immune from the nine Blueborne bugs, which could allow attackers in the worst case to gain control of the device and its data. Protection is difficult as the bugs are airborne and do not rely on IP connections. At the time Armis uncovered the Blueborne vulnerabilities, it was estimated over five billion devices were affected.
