RFID viruses, eh? Not so fast, say experts

We were pretty sure that security types would respond fairly quickly with plugs to any security holes that RFID might have, but it appears the reports of RFID virus vulnerability we heard the other day might have been a bit exaggerated. It seems RFID experts have looked over the claims of the study, and they say the findings could be rather flawed due to the weak systems the original student researchers tested their virus up against. They also made it clear that fixed data RFID tags could not be corrupted, and that RFID systems have technology in place to safeguard the rest of the system, including the rejection of suspect data. We can't quite keep up with all the jargon, but it does seem the coming apocalypse won't be nearly as thrilling as previously suggested.
