FYI: Watch your Bluetooth for BlueBorn attacks

Reminder, you are heading to a tech conference where a few of the attendees will think it "cool" to use unpatched exploits to compromise your devices.

The attack does not require the targeted device to be paired to the attacker’s device, or even to be set on discoverable mode.
