Assunto: [Hackmeeting] RFID Chips Are Vulnerable to Viruses
A group of European computer researchers have demonstrated that it is possible
to insert a software virus into radio frequency identification tags, part of a
microchip-based tracking technology in growing use in commercial and security
applications. Until now, most computer security experts have discounted the
possibility of using such tags, known as RFID chips, to spread a computer virus
because of the tiny amount of memory on the chips.
