First human to be infected with a computer virus?

Not exactly, but a scientist has implanted himself with a RFID chip that had been infected with the virus.

---------->full story here <-------------

From the story:

Quote :

In its uninfected state, Gasson's chip lets him pass through secured doorways and turn on his cell phone, so it has practical real-world capabilities.

An infected chip could pass malicious code on to chip scanners as, say, the bearer passes through a security door. The virus could then spread to other systems in the network, depending on the complexity and cleverness of its programming.

Let the hysteria begin

This sort of thing is all a bit beyond me, I guess Im still living in the days of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
