Wait, is this a trick question? Maybe the executive is just really bad at managing their PDA and the 'odd behavior' is just user error.

I don't know, but maybe the attacker is just trying to get a Bluetooth headset to play some tunes. Bluesnarfing could be the answer here.

Come on, guys, it's obviously PDA Hijacking. The executive's device is being copied, which is a clear sign of that attack vector.

Hmm, I'm not convinced. Privilege Escalation seems like a more likely scenario, where the attacker is trying to gain higher levels of access on the PDA.

A: It sounds like Bluesnarfing to me, where unauthorized access is gained through Bluetooth.

I'm not sure about that. The question mentions an e-business card, which sounds more like a social engineering attack to me. I'd go with Session Hijacking.

That makes sense. It's definitely a form of attack on the PDA.

I agree, Bluesnarfing is when unauthorized access is gained to information on a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection.

This seems like a classic case of Bluesnarfing, where the attacker is able to access data on a Bluetooth-enabled device without the owner's knowledge or consent.
