Security researchers have uncovered a vulnerability called WhisperPair in 17 audio devices using Google's Fast Pair protocol, enabling hackers to access microphones and track locations within Bluetooth range. The flaw affects products from 10 manufacturers, including Sony and Google, and stems from improper implementation of the pairing standard. Google has collaborated with researchers to address the issue, though full fixes depend on hardware partners.
