Scroll down to the bit about switching off Bluetooth on your iPhone and further down, the bit about Apple ID email retrieval.

@davemark Also, don’t answer random promots to confirm unexpected connections.

This is not good, especially since so many of us have Bluetooth devices we connect to at various times throughout the day and don’t want to be bothered turning Bluetooth on and off. Maybe the real fix is to not type in your password every time your phone randomly asks for it?

I live in a rural area and am seldom anywhere a hacker might be, but I’ll be doing some air travel next month and it’s good to know about issues like this. Thanks!
