> But what can you do if you hack a Fitbit? Make people think the only walked 2000 steps, when they really walked 4000?

yeah my thoughts too...what use is it to hack one really. Someone just did it to see if they could. They must've owned one.

I believe that what the hacker does is turn the Fitbit in to a Trojan Horse that delivers code to your computer that will then give the hacker access to your computer. Possibly sending your personal data to the hackers computer or maybe just insert code to erase your hard drive.
