The next time you spot someone jogging when Nike shoes and white earbuds hanging from their ears, you may want to chant a warning to that person -- if in fact they are using the newer RFID-enabled Nike / iPod Sport Kit.This new product lets runners monitor their efforts with short-range radio transmissions (of course) that should be limited to a small sphere around the person only. Of course, RFID hackers are not ones to sit lightly, as researchers from the University of Washington think that a security flaw in the Sport Kit could let stalkers also monitor runners. On no!
If mentally-disturbed stalkers are so inclined to extreme nerdiness like this, then the Nike / iPod sport kit could be mapping someone's regimen all over the place.
