People infected with computer viruses!

Dr. Mark Gasson, a British scientist working at the University of Reading, said he became the first person in the world to be infected with a computer virus.

According to Gasson, he made a computer chip infected with the virus, then implanted the chip into his hands. Thanks to it, Gasson passed through the security doors. It also enabled his cell phone.

When carrying out these tests, Gasson wanted to prove that the chip could transmit the virus to an external control system. If other chips are then connected to the system, they are also infected.

Gasson's findings are of great significance, especially in the future, when medical devices such as the cochlea and pacemaker become more sophisticated: these devices can be infected by viruses from the device. Other transplants.

The findings also made many other scientists nervous. Professor Rafael Capurro (Germany) said: "It will be very serious if someone can access your transplant device."

According to the BBC, Dr. Gasson will present his findings at the Australian Society for Technology and Society Symposium next month.
