RFIDs are evil....(cont)
Ok, if you don't know my opinion of RFIDs, you do now.
Anyway, recent studies have shown RFIDs to be infectible with viruses. Yay! I don't know if I should be happy (since this makes RFIDs useless) or concerned.

Actually Im glad, because there was always this loomy idea I had that "humm, if we implant these in people, could they be hacked?". So now my concerns are backed up and hopeless the whole idea of these things will be scrapped.
Imagine buying a shirt, the clerk scanns the id as being bought, some asshole sends a virus to it using some small devices, you walk out and set off the alarm and everyone thinks you stole it.
OR even worse, you have a implanted chip that a virus has changed your information to a middle eastern terror suspect...
