Detailed explanation-1: -Bluetooth is a personal area network (PAN) standard that is lower power than 802.11. It was originally specified to serve applications such as data transfer from personal computers to peripheral devices such as cell phones or personal digital assistants.
Detailed explanation-2: -A Bluetooth WPAN is also called a piconet, and is composed of up to 8 active devices in a master-slave relationship (a very large number of additional devices can be connected in “parked” mode).
Detailed explanation-3: -Risk of Lateral Movement. Realistically, the risk is lower for PANs that connect via proprietary protocols or Bluetooth, but the concept is similar. If you can hack one device, the risk of lateral movement or surveillance increases to compromise a user’s identity or additional assets.
