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.

Aha. Okay. Well, I am guessing if a hacker can do that he has serious skillz.

After so many battles with viruses and tojan horses on my own computer that have probably made me spend hundreds of hours fixing them it makes me want to slap the living crap out of 'em and their parents for creating such monsters. I know its probably boredom that drives them to do such things but why don't they create viruses that do good things to your computers?
