I guess this fits under "Other Technology". I just got an email about this:
This is the first I've heard of this signal creating the alleged vulnerability. I don't know if this protection is absolutely essential or if it is the best product for this purpose. This isn't a spam posting. I excluded any links. MT folks know me as a legitimate member. I'm interested in hearing what you know about all this.
Just a few days ago the entire nation was required to adopt new “Chip and Pin” credit and debit cards.
These new cards are supposed to be fraud proof.
Except there’s one glaring problem with all of them…
Your card can be hacked!...
Because your new card sends out a small signal that allows for touch free payment it also sends out a
signal thieves can intercept, download and steal.
Even while your card sits safely in your wallet or purse.
The best (and only) way to protect your cards is by using a high-tech RFID wallet.
...These tiny, lightweight sleeves slip right over your cards keeping them safe from criminals.
Which means you’ll never have to worry about becoming the victim of fraud.
A fraudster could simply get near you with an RFID reader in their pocket and invisibly scan and capture your personal information from your credit cards. The Safe Wallet Shield is the perfect solution to shielding your most valuable cards by blocking their RFID signals and protecting you from theft.
