Kind of a tangent, but I was traveling in Portugal last year, and one day as I was headed to a train station I felt my phone buzz. I picked it up and it had a failed Bluetooth file transfer. In the settings, the device name had changed from the default to what looked like a base64 string, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately I didn't think to screenshot anything.

The phone was literally only a couple weeks old. Nothing new had been paired. I changed the name back and figured I would look it up later. The failed file transfer was automatically cleared (just a phone thing) and I wasn't able to find information about it.
