Dr. Mark Gasson, a cybernetics expert at the University of Reading in England infected himself with a computer virus ( embedded a RFID chip in his wrist ).This was part of an experiment designed to show how implantable bionic devices are susceptible to computer viruses.
He is able to access the security systems in his university. A virus is installed into the chip. After that when he enters the lab, and when the computers read his code the virus replicated into the system and affected the computer.
This wont affect Gasson's health but if people having pace makers, hearing aid, deep brain stimulators
can be easily affected by the system. This will create a serious issue in the future.
