The new Nike+iPod Sports kit is being scrutinized by researchers at the University of Washington, who claim that the product can double up as a tracking device, posing a serious security threat to the owner. The device is meant for high-tech runners to upload data such as distance, speed and calories burned via a sensor in the Nike shoe and the iPod that compliments it. The device is potentially dangerous, as it lets thieves or stalkers track their victims and plan their attack. A thief could even track when people enter or leave their homes or a stalker could hide receivers near a home, a gym and a restaurant, for example, to closely monitor his or her target's movements. |
