Bluetooth and wireless keyboards are sending keystrokes wirelessly. Could this mean that an attacker (or spy) can log the keystrokes by monitoring the wireless or Bluetooth radio waves (or whatever)?

Is there any encryption or something that stops them from doing this? Same also applies to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

  • There are a lot of hits when Googling "Bluetooth encryption". Like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth It would be helpful if you included what research you have done so that we don't end up repeating the research you have already performed. – schroeder May 06 '16 at 03:46

    possible yes: [Hacker builds wireless Microsoft keyboard keylogger disguised as USB wall charger](http://www.networkworld.com/article/2868663/microsoft-subnet/hacker-builds-wireless-microsoft-keyboard-keylogger-disguised-as-usb-wall-charger.html). – Steffen Ullrich May 06 '16 at 05:02
  • So maybe they should add some encryption to Bluetooth (maybe by the pairing code) – Suici Doga May 06 '16 at 05:13

  • @SuiciDoga you didn't read either of my links - Bluetooth is encrypted. – schroeder May 06 '16 at 23:25
  • Also the link says that Bluetooth is safe.Those wireless keyboards aren't – Suici Doga May 07 '16 at 01:59
