Congratulations to our winners: Christian Kilpatrick - Fairhope, AL Loretta Alkalay - Scarsdale, NY Stephanie Dyer - Middlebury, CT Hour two, first half: Jim Stickley. Have a Bluetooth Device? Someone could be listening in on your call! If you have a Bluetooth device, take special note. Although most auto manufacturers had secured their devices by 2007, more than half of the devices out there are vulnerable to attack by thieves because they remain in pairing mode at all times, and have a default PIN that can't be changed. All the thief needs is a Bluetooth-equipped laptop, a modified antenna, and you as their target as you order lunch and read out your credit card number over the phone. Because there is no fix for the devices that are vulnerable to this type of attack, listen to advice on how to avoid vulnerable Bluetooth devices, offered by Jim Stickley, The Today Show's resident scam guy and CTO/CP of strategic operations at TraceSecurity. He's also the author of the new book, The Truth About Identity Theft. Hour two, second half: Epson. Rodrigo Catalan, a product manager at Epson responsible for the WorkForce line will be on to tell us all about Epson's newest line of printers including the new wireless models!
