Talk about mis-information!
"An RFID tag can be infected with a virus and this virus can infect the back-end database used by the RFID software. From there it can be easily spread to other RFID tags,"
an RFID tag cannot be written to from another RFID tag.. it also can't be written to by the device that's scanning it.
My last job ws working for a barcode scanner mfg that also produced RFID tag scanners...
The article says...
"The problem is that an infected RFID tag, which is read wirelessly when it passes through a scanning gate, can upset the database that processes the information on the chip,"
"upset the database"?? simply by altering the characters in a string? This atricle is so vague it's actually funny!... this sounds like the kind of article that is written by someone with an interest in a competing technology.
The same kind of stuff was written about printed barcodes a while back...
