The system would thus allow a third party to trace the movements of a phone using the application by means of Bluetooth sensors scattered along its path, for example in a building. Another possible attack would be to copy identifiers from the phones of people who may be ill , and to reproduce those identifiers in order to receive notification of exposure to COVID-19 and illegitimately benefit from quarantine . The system would also allow a third party to use a phone using the application by means of Bluetooth sensors scattered along the way.
