A new research paper (PDF) says that it's possible computer viruses could be spread using RFID tags. RFID tags are used to trace goods through supply chains and have been injected into family pets to enable them to be identified if lost. The paper says that despite the small memory capacity of an RFID tag, it is possible to include malicious code in them. Here's an interesting article about it, and there's more information at rfidvirus.org.
