Bluetooth Cameraphone Jammer

Posted by themarques
ueserker passes on information from an article in Singapore's Asia One about three students from Temasek Polytechnic who have figured out a way to disable the camera function of select Nokia phones via Bluetooth. While the concept itself is interesting - enter a 'no camera' zone, and your phone disables itself automagically - the fact that Nokia's Bluetooth implementation allows a remote user to disable functions is probably the more immediate issue here. The affected phones are the 6600 and the 7610 - an attempt to shut down a 7650 failed.
