Oh no! Not the 0000 passcode for my mouse or headphones!

If you read the article, the described attack allows a man-in-the-middle attack on two devices while they are pairing.

This means that someone could intercept and modify your bluetooth mouse or keyboard inputs, resulting in complete compromise of the device they are connected to.
