<p>A method for mitigating effects of a Bluetooth-based Denial of Service (DoS) attack on a Bluetooth-enabled mobile communications device (120) is disclosed. The method includes determining if the mobile communications device is under a DoS attack, wherein if it is determined that the mobile communications device is under a DoS attack, the method includes temporarily disabling (3300) Bluetooth services that were enabled using a first Bluetooth address, storing (3400) the first Bluetooth address in a memory (230) in the mobile communications device, changing (3500) the first Bluetooth address to a second Bluetooth address, and enabling (3600) Bluetooth services using the second Bluetooth address.</p> |
