At the same time, attackers with Bluetooth can control CTKD by taking advantage of the drawback. After this, attackers can also weaken the [encryption](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1620/encryption-and-decryption-in-asp-dot-net) between two devices by overwriting the authentication-key. --- **READ HERE MORE :** [**When Swami Vivekananda's Speech Rocked World Religious Conference**](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81810/when-swami-vivekananda-s-speech-rocked-world-religious-conference) After this, malicious data can be sent to the targeted device with the help of Bluetooth and the data transmitting between the two devices can also be accessed.
