All except the latest updated Bluetooth versions are vulnerable to the BlueBorne malware invasion which can spread viruses and trojans to any Bluetooth capable device, some 8.2 BILLION now in the wild. iOS 9.3.5 and earlier is vulnerable to this problem but iOS 10 is immune. Latest versions of Android have patches, but rely on carriers to push out those patches and users to install them. Older devices that cannot be patched, and users who don't update will remain vulnerable. Microsoft patched it's Windows 10 computers in July, but who knows about earlier Windows versions. Of course, turning Bluetooth off is an ultimate protection. — PING!

Maybe this is why the Bluetooth on my Win 10 laptop doesn't pair with devices anymore.
