Hacker Uses Implanted Chips to Open Security Gates

Szekesfehervar, Hungary

A Hungarian man can wave his hands to open security doors.

His hands have two implanted chips: one near-field communications chip and one programmable radio frequency identification, or RFID, chip in the other.

A video shows Gabor Heims, a self-proclaimed ethical hacker, using a program called Proxmark3 to copy his employee access card and program a chip in his hand. The video shows him pressing his hand against a reader on a locked gate and another security barrier.

“I wanted to highlight with my project how easy it is to forge employee access cards when wrong or obsolete technology is used,” Heims told the Daily Mail.
