Hm. Question in regards to your phone -- did you willingly download the app that was sent out by your health authorities? Because to the best of my knowledge (https://support.google.com/android/answer/9888358?hl=en-GB) I don't think that Google/Android has released their own unified app. Pretty sure that's under the direction of health officials within your area.
I think answering that would help to see exactly what is going on here. But if you're not willingly to share that's understandable -- kinda would tell us where you live ( at least on the country level)
Topic: COVID19 tracking via bleutooth already sharing device info - page 2. (Read 295 times)
Hoping there's some tech savy bitcoiners (or shitcoiners) here.
I noticed COVID19 google android tracking has been installed on my phone. I also read iOs 13.5 did the same.
Now, on my phone when I turn on bleutooth, nothing out of the ordinary, just a few devices in the neighborhood.
But when I turn on bleutooth on my linux laptop, it floods with unknown devices. Via bt-device -l in the terminal, I can see their MAC addresses like so (this is just a sample)
69-53-E0-40-BC-4F (69:53:E0:40:BC:4F)
6C-2F-A3-A5-F7-E9 (6C:2F:A3:A5:F7:E9)
6A-F3-AB-4E-11-DF (6A:F3:AB:4E:11:DF)
75-F8-66-65-C3-CD (75:F8:66:65:C3:CD)
5D-DE-F4-B2-98-07 (5D:DE:F4:B2:98:07)
55-5E-51-B4-72-12 (55:5E:51:B4:72:12)
71-17-83-1B-2C-BC (71:17:83:1B:2C:BC)
4F-A4-03-44-79-10 (4F:A4:03:44:79:10)
76-82-73-A0-12-5C (76:82:73:A0:12:5C)
60-BD-FB-EE-10-3B (60:BD:FB:EE:10:3B)
F8-77-B8-12-3D-07 (F8:77:B8:12:3D:07)
51-CD-C9-CC-B5-7B (51:CD:C9:CC:B5:7B)
68-35-35-C7-95-B5 (68:35:35:C7:95:B5)
66-3B-53-87-F1-2C (66:3B:53:87:F1:2C)
88-C6-26-79-1C-9C (88:C6:26:79:1C:9C)
7C-D7-CB-A9-22-1C (7C:D7:CB:A9:22:1C)
My assumption is these are phones in the vicinity sharing bleutooth info on another level than the user level.
Your thoughts on this?
