If wifi is off can someone hack into my macbook with bluetooth?

I've had issues and am looking for ways to prevent hacking. I turn my wifi off at night and close my computer. When I do not shut it completely down, can someone hack in with Bluetooth only?



MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

If you’re worth enough to hack, you will get hacked. Whether that access is acquired remotely through available Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connections, or via a “black bag” job, or otherwise?


Most of us are not worth enough.


Usual paths most folks get in trouble with security involve password re-use, easily-guessed passwords, phishing, and other sorts of social engineering. That’s far cheaper than are the paths using exploits.


If you are specifically concerned about Bluetooth, switch to wired external devices, and shut off Bluetooth.
