METUHEN, N.J., July 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc. (BVS), a leading
provider of advanced wireless security, test, safety and
cybersecurity solutions introduces BlueSleuth-Pro™ Bluetooth and
BLE Locator. This tool is for wireless security professionals
tasked with identifying and locating unsecured wireless
devices.
BlueSleuth-Pro was developed through BVS' world-renowned
expertise in wireless direction finding, card skimmer detection and
rogue BT (Bluetooth) and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) device
detection. Past products have addressed some of these wireless
security issues individually, but BlueSleuth-Pro combats all these
BT and BLE security threats in one handheld unit.
"We took a four-pronged approach with BlueSleuth-Pro to address
TSCM and security concerns using a single device," says
Scott Schober, CEO of BVS. He
continues, "One handheld scanner will locate personal
Bluetooth and BLE trackers, beacons, card skimmers and other rogue
devices."
BLE Personal Tracker Detection
Personal BLE trackers (including the popular
Apple AirTag®) have raised issues involving stalking and
tracking of people, vehicle theft and packages containing illegal
items. Low-cost personal trackers are developed by tech companies
making them difficult to detect and locate in a timely manner.
Stalking notifications can take hours or even days to alert
users. The nearly 3 billion Android users worldwide who cannot
receive stalking alerts without running the latest OS or a custom
app for BLE Tag detection in the background are often left
vulnerable to these tracking tags.
According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 7.5 million
people experience cyberstalking annually.
BlueSleuth-Pro immediately identifies and locates hidden
personal trackers with a combination of direction-finding antenna,
a high-speed scanning receiver and software algorithms attuned to
each BLE tag's parameters. As a result, BlueSleuth-Pro detects
(both registered and non-registered) hidden BLE trackers faster and
locates them with more precision than the most sophisticated tools
used by law enforcement and personal security teams.
Bluetooth Card Skimmer Detection
According to FICO, U.S. card skimming grew 700+% in the first
half of 2022. Bluetooth card skimmers covertly placed inside ATMs,
gas pumps and credit card payment terminals play a key role in this
fraudulent activity leading to monetary and identity theft.
BlueSleuth-Pro discovers and locates BT and BLE card skimmers
hidden inside ATMS, gas pumps and other payment terminals. For
instance, this can save many tedious man-hours of inspections at
large gas stations containing dozens of gas pumps. Cybercriminals
sometimes require a BT connection to download stolen card data and
BlueSleuth-Pro offers law enforcement the opportunity to catch
criminals in this act.
Bluetooth Device Detection
BlueSleuth-Pro detects nearby BT and BLE devices including
smartphones, tablets, PCs, wireless earbuds, wearables and a
variety of PEDs (Personal Electronic Devices) containing
confidential data. These devices are illegal within secure
areas inside government facilities, SCIFs, military bases and
confidential meeting rooms. All BT and BLE devices are potential
targets to hacking and theft by cybercriminals, state actors and
hackers looking to steal confidential data.
TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) professionals,
DoD agencies, law enforcement, private investigators and security
teams are tasked with maintaining digital privacy and security for
clients. BlueSleuth-Pro can also be used to sniff out wireless
spying devices and bugs planted somewhere or on someone.
BLE Beacon Detection
BlueSleuth-Pro also detects and identifies BLE beacons using the
iBeacon protocol developed by Apple. These popular beacons contain
low energy proximity sensors which can violate user privacy when
used illegally.
BlueSleuth-Pro includes a rugged transport case, omni and
directional antennas and a rechargeable Li-Ion battery system for a
full day's use. Software features include audible voice alerts,
user thresholds and stealth mode. BlueSleuth-Pro pricing starts
at $3,200 and is available now directly from Berkeley
Varitronics Systems at www.bvsystems.com.
