"It is very likely that you are either affected or vulnerable to older attacks."

"The attack exploits the vulnerability on both participating devices simultaneously."

"If any one of them is patched, the attack will not work any more."

"Every Bluetooth pairing performed by vulnerable devices at the presence of the attacker could be compromised."

"An attacker could then eavesdrop all victims' communications, and even send forged requests for information."

"An attacker can ask a phone for the contacts list, read or send SMSes."

"Dial and talk on a compromized connection, and listen in to all Bluetooth conversations."

"Bluetooth Low Energy first introduced in 2010 is intended for use by IoT and low power devices."

"The original Bluetooth is still widely used by audio peripherals."

"They are different in many aspects, Bluetooth Low Energy is largely inspired by the original Bluetooth."

"These differences do not affect our attack."

"On failure the participating devices cancel the pairing procedure, and might notify the user of authentication failure."

"The user may try again immediately afterwards."

"On success of pairing, the attack had certainly been succeeded."

"On success the attack is undetectable by the user."

"When it fails the user may be notified of authentication failure, yet this behavior is implementation dependent."

"In any case current devices cannot distinguish between our attack and a normal authentication failure."

"It's hard to predict the future, but some people think that Bitcoin could do to finance what the Internet did to communications."

"I think especially for Luxembourg it is important to watch what happens with Bitcoin."

"This Bitcoin network analysis combined with previous research on transaction flows shows that the level of anonymity in the Bitcoin network is quite low"

"I established this department from the scratch, and hiring people has been one of my basic daily headaches from the very beginning."

"I am hoping to help IT and DS specialists do their best to get the job of their dream and to save some time for hiring managers."

"I should mention that now it is a “seller’s market” when we are thinking about the labour market in IT and DS."

"It is so mostly for experienced professionals."

"The situation becomes pretty tough lately for young specialists as the competition is really high thanks to tons of online courses and a huge hype of IT professions."

"Using the following advice you can significantly increase your chances to stand out among hundreds and thousands of candidates competing for a position of developer."
