On my way to the very cool hacker camp What The Hack in the Netherlands I passed Duesseldorf. This city has a big focus on fashion. This is the reason, why the 'New Faces Award' (a competition for young wannabe models) took also place there.
Together with a prodction team doing a story for the German Pro7 TV lifestyle magazine BIZZ, I did a mobile phone audit service at this event and in the city of Dusseldorf. It was quite amazing how many companies still use the most famous vulnerable phone (of which the name is very much known to everybody being interested in Bluetooth security issues).
Also in the city we could find quite a few people that learned that they had to update their firmware.
As for the New Faces Award, there was a rather high amount of new phones that were not vulnerable to the BlueBug attack. The more glamorous the people, the newer the phones! But even there, we found people with vulnerable phones.
Check out the pictures of this event here. Enjoy.
