Joe Biden and the gym bike, security experts raise the alarm

Joe Biden, who just moved to the White House, has signed a series of decisions that overturn those of his predecessor Donald Trump.

But in the spotlight of cybersecurity experts is a bicycle used by the US president.

The 78-year-old American president exercises every morning on a "Peloton", a highly sophisticated exercise bike equipped with a microphone and a camera and connected to the Internet with other users.

According to security experts, it is precisely the microphone and camera that each "Peloton" is equipped with that can be the prey of various attacks.

The CIA wants to prevent Russian or Chinese hackers from poking their noses into the White House gym.

The alarm was raised by Popular Mechanics magazine in an article titled: "Why Joe Biden Can't Bring His 'Peloton' to the White House."

According to experts, Biden may use his "Peloton", but only after the US Secret Service and national security have gotten their hands on it, transforming it into something different from the usual model.

According to American media, former First Lady Michelle Obama also uses a modified, tamper-proof "Peloton," but her spokesperson would not confirm this.

Biden wouldn't be the first American president whose electronic habits conflict with White House security.

Donald Trump liked to use his personal iPhone for calls with friends, while Barack Obama used a BlackBerry and then an iPad.
