Ep. 3 – One Request, One URL, One Bluetooth Hack: Three Takeovers That Shouldn’t Have Happened

Hacked & Secured: Pentest Exploits & Mitigations

How can attackers take over accounts, networks, and devices—without credentials?

In this episode, we break down three real-world security flaws that prove authentication alone isn’t enough:

• Account Takeover – A single request bypassed email verification, locking out store owners.
• Internal Network Compromise – A hidden admin URL and hardcoded access key gave attackers full control.
• Smart Device Hijack – A community-submitted finding reveals how Bluetooth vulnerabilities allowed remote command execution—without WiFi, passwords, or internet access.

These findings expose critical weaknesses in application security, network defense, and IoT device protection—problems that pentesters, developers, and security teams must identify before attackers do.
