I'm glad they made the video, but I think it has been common knowledge for quite some time that the protocol is highly insecure and that anyone spoofing a pair of headphones can inject executable instructions. China's 110 group has been using this heavily for about nine years on American soil because the short range of the signal necessarily means there is no automated logging of the code used to achieve the penetration as there would be when using a cellular traffic protocol. Once someone gets into a phone in this way, they can even re-program the phone to act as a Bluetooth spoofer which automatically maps out networks of acquaintances.

One of the most common implementations when 110 uses it is to send a young woman with the Bluetooth spoofer into a gym in, let's say, Arlington, Virginia (as many federal employees and people who work for defense contractors live there) so that they can get close to people who have Bluetooth actively running to stream music. The girls will usually be wearing American-themed patriotic attire, which is laying it on a bit thick if you ask me.

The U.S. Government has been silent on this issue the entire time but has made some plans to build ELINT-secure gyms in government buildings and to encourage employees to use those employee-only gyms to "prevent workplace injuries." The trouble is that the federal employees are not being warned against using Bluetooth and they are not being warned against using public gyms.
