So, does that mean that you should not let people touch your phone henceforth?
Well, you do not have to go berserk just yet.
Thats not the kind of thing one can order on Amazon, after all.
Implants for cattle, used by hacker Seth Wahle to launch Android attacks
Wahle could not have implanted the chip by a doctor considering the many types of body modification.
As a result, he had an unlicensed amateur inject it with a special syringe.
Wahle resides in Florida, which has strict body modification limitations.
However, in most other places you might get a professional piercer who will do implants of various types.
The hack needs that the person using the phone manually load the file downloaded via the web page.
This means that it’s crucial that you go to the system controls to disable a security setting.
In this case, he lead the phone to take a picture.
Its even not close to being a silent app install, but its an amusing proof of concept.
This may result in some future susceptibility leading to an attack without installing an app.
Wahle is scheduled to demonstrate his process at theHack Miami conferencein May.
Lets be fair, though.
Seth Wahle clearly has a knack for excitement.
