Researchers at the University of Seattle, found that
the iPhod-pedometer, created by the collaboration between Apple and Nike
, and marketed since last August, has a small
manufacturing defect.
In fact, as claimed by the English newspaper El Pais
, the object emits a constant signal, which if intercepted
can afford to reveal the location of the user
, within a radius of 20 meters.
fact, the pedometer is attached to your iPod through radio, whose signal
, which contains an identification code
staff, can be easily intercepted.
In this way, the iPod acts as a bug and
any attacker
could use it to try to trace the path of the user or
to locate the exact position of its prey.
