When Technology is Used in a Horrifying Way
#2
Not really scary, many companies are doing this with the RFID badges they require their workers to wear. I know there are some schools that also do it with badges however putting it in the clothes ensures friends don’t bring your tag to school. “Hacking” is a buzzword but the reality is any system can be hacked but is it worth hacking. If the system contains simple attendance data then it really isn’t a big issue. To put it in perspective many schools have moved everything online including grading, records, testing which is far more of an issue than just attendance tracking.

We are having this backlash now because all of the data breaches that we worry about all data. A lot of data used to be available to people in a phone book, much of the data that gets breached is that data. When you get concerned is when it’s social security numbers or passwords and passwords is usually only an issue because people use the same password at target as they do their online banking.
