VeriChip cloning issues raises security questions

The news about VeriChip being not secure and capable of being hacked could affect the company’s IPO of its common stock. This revelation has put VeriChip’s entire business model into question. It is quite easy to clone VeriChip implanted in a person’s arm and program a new chip with the similar chip. VeriChip cloning demo can be seen online at http://cq. Security troubles could be created for those people who have the microchip embedded in their skin. With the news about Verichip’s cloning coming out, it could put to risk 18 employees in the Mexican Attorney General’s office who make use of implanted chip to enter a sensitive records room and bar patrons in Europe who make use of injected chips to pay for their drinks.
