Be infected by a virus ... computer, it is possible

A British engineer is injected in 2010 a computer virus in the body, via an RFID chip implanted under his skin. Hence the proof that this device can be hacked ...

After our series on transhumanism, you know everything about the subject. But here is a history that dates back to 2010, 
recently relayed by Sciences et Avenir and the time by NEWTECH , which demonstrates the risks improvements allow the 
implants, including the RFID (radio frequency identification) as advocated by the "body hacker" Kevin Warwick and Amal 
Graafstra.

As I said in a previous article on the improvements that enable the NBIC (nanotechnology, biotechnology, information 
technology and cognitive sciences), for Amal Graafstra, RFID chips that he had implanted in each hand are a way authentication : when he comes home, he well enough for him to pass his hand in front of a terminal. It also uses its RFID chips to start his motorcycle, his computer or his safe.

The virus in the skin But now, the RFID technology is hackable, and from there to fear now that computer viruses affect the human body, there is only one step. In 2010, a British engineer, Mark Gasson, was established voluntarily, a computer virus in an RFID chip underneath his skin. "The use of these chips is democratizing, just imagine that a computer virus may modify the operation of a pacemaker or any implant equipped with this kind of technology, and the scenario becomes worrisome," said Science and Future.
As always, needless psychoter, the main thing is to talk about and discuss, to avoid this kind of disaster scenario.
