Scientist Infected with Computer Virus
Yes, you read that correctly...! A scientist with an implanted RFID chip in his hand has become infected with a computer virus.

Re: Scientist Infected with Computer Virus
RFID Chips can be read nearly 1,000 feet away.

If you can receive, you can send.
If you know you are carrying a chip, you can keep it from sending out information by surrounding it with a metal shield. "Foiled" again!

Re: Scientist Infected with Computer Virus
I hope you're joking, but in case you're not. if you read it carefully you'll see he didn't really. That title is inaccurate. He was just showing that theoretically a person could carry one of the embedded rfid chips and infect electronic devices they come into range of, thus sort of carrying the virus. But he certainly wasn't infected himself.LukeAir2008 wrote:Yes, you read that correctly...! A scientist with an implanted RFID chip in his hand has become infected with a computer virus.![]()
