Research vindicates Harland Simon 21st March 2006

Following the recent front cover article in IT WEEK (20.03.06 Vol.9 No.11) covering the very real threat of mal-ware infections to RFID technologies, Harland Simon’s Sales Director, Michael Calvert stated;

“This type of threat has been discussed for some time, however the publication of this article gives full technical vindication of Harland Simon’s decision to support dumb tags. We always thought that the high cost of active tags was just one area of weakness, this threat of virus attack is clearly another, which may be even greater”.

The article highlights the fact that a research team developed a virus only 127 bytes in size and the enormous harm a virus of this size could do to an exposed firm.”
