@Ramona I'd totally be down with body hacking stuff but I'm a bit worried with interference with existing tech (like with those finger magnets) or security issues (apparently stuff like pacemakers already has gaping vulnerabilities)
@noiob i'm also aiming to get an NFC implant, which IMO has a lot more vulnerabilities (i'll probably use it for a home alarm system or something, since storing something like a debit card chip on it or anything with personal information is WAY too risky, even with encryption)
@noiob it seems with NFC passports, they generally take a few precautions to make sure information can't easily be taken or modified (ie; Canadian passport NFC tags only carry the same information as one of the pages has, which is basic identification information + the photo, and US passports have NFC reader proof casing) but that's really odd to hear!
