Scientist infects self with computer virus

Dr Gasson has used his RFID chip to identify himself remotely to electronic devices, e.g. security doors and his mobile phone. What he has shown by infecting his chip with a virus however, is that when the system his chip communicates with reads the information therein, it also reads – and becomes infected with – the virus. Furthermore, any and all other chips connected to the same system would then become infected. This only adds to the already long list of security and privacy concerns regarding RFID chips.
