Not a lot to say here, China manufacturer has back doored a billion Bluetooth chips.

Undocumented "backdoor" found in Bluetooth chip used by a billion devices

And now the fitness monitor is attached to a burner phone, and there’s no other Bluetooth anywhere.

But here’s a lurking problem in my parts drawer … and there’s no solution for having a compromised chip in this beast.
