> 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.

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?

I have often wondered if destruction is not man’s first nature rather than creation.

Think about any little boy with a set of building blocks. Is it not the first thing he does after building something to knock it down?

And if one little boy sees another build something doesn’t he wait until it is finished and then run up and knock down the first boys structure and laugh.

Also more to the point; if someone does something to your computer without your consent isn’t it malicious regardless of whether it is a positive change or not?
