From Fitbit to Sickbit in 1O Seconds. This sickbit could also make other computers sick.


Good news is that it is supposed to be a Proof Of Concept. (Do you feel safe?)


From the article:

A vulnerability in FitBit fitness trackers first reported to the vendor in March could still be exploited by the person you sit next to on a park bench while catching your breath

This malware can be delivered 10 seconds after devices connect, making even fleeting proximity a problem. Testing the success of the hack takes about a minute, although it is unnecessary for the compromise.
