Google’s Fast Pair technology was designed for convenience. The protocol turns pairing a new Bluetooth accessory into a tap-and-go experience for Android and Chrome OS users. But new research suggests that the same design choices that make Fast Pair effortless also make it alarmingly easy to abuse.

Their findings reveal that attackers within Bluetooth range – roughly 45 to 50 feet – can take control of wireless headphones, earbuds, and speakers that rely on Fast Pair. The flaw affects devices from at least ten major companies, including Google, Sony, JBL, Jabra, Xiaomi, and OnePlus.
