Radio Frequency Identification is a wireless technology which identifies objects or people with help of the radio waves. RFID tag is useful for storing and retrieving the data. So, if you attach RFID tag to some product then that product will be identified by radio waves.
RFID tags are useful in applications like payment system, airline baggage management, smart homes and offices, consumer goods like clothing, food items, etc.
If RFID software is intentionally corrupted by someone like hackers then RFID tags are infected by viruses. Whenever such tags are read by readers, these viruses start infecting the backend database which is used by the RFID software. The virus now spreads rapidly to other RFID tags.
