How to Ensure Your Credit Cards and Passport are Safe from Identity Theft?
Essential information for anyone who uses a credit card, debit card, bank card, smart card or passport.
Is Your Safety Being Compromised by Our High-Tech World?
Today’s fast paced high-tech world is ever changing. Unfortunately, for most of us it’s a struggle to keep up with all the new innovations and technology in so many aspects of our lives.
Every week we are being bombarded with new high-tech products and gadgets that are supposed to make life easier and safer for us all. Or are they???
Don’t let nasty credit card issues happen to you!
New Credit Cards
One case in point is the recent roll-out of new credit/debit cards equipped with micro chips. Have you received your new credit/debit card yet?
Millions of people across the U.S. have had new credit/debit cards mailed to them in the past few months.
Banks are doing this because the new cards are equipped with an EMV chip (micro-chip) with ‘tap & go’ functionality to help prevent fraud.
‘Tap & Go’ – Credit Cards
The Banks say that this will make processing transaction payments that much easier for us all. The majority of small transactions can now be processed with a simple ‘tap & go’ function. This is so much more convenient for everyone!
Wait a second! Have a think about that for a moment? Is this good for us consumers?
No! Unfortunately the ‘tap & go’ function is not safe or secure for consumers!
Why is ‘Tap & Go’ Not Safe or Secure?
With ‘tap & go’ functionality, the new EMV micro-chip equipped credit cards can now be scanned by anyone with an portable Rfid card reader. That can’t be good for us consumers!
The Banks are saying that there are many safeguards in their security systems that ensure the integrity of the new ‘tap & go’ credit and debit cards. They say that malicious attacks by criminals will not be effective.
Unfortunately, that is simply not the case!
Overseas Experience – ‘Tap & Go’ Credit Cards
Overseas experience in Europe, Asia and Australia proves that ‘tap & go’ credit/debit cards embedded with an EMV micro-chip are vulnerable to malicious attack! These countries have all reported significant issues with the ‘tap & go’ system. Now US consumers are being exposed to these same issues.
The fact is these countries have experienced credit/debit card hacking and identity theft in significantly greater numbers since the ‘tap & go’ system was introduced. Card hacking has becoming more prevalent and so much easier for scammers today than ever before.
Electronic Pick-Pocketing
Pick-pocketing has existed throughout the ages. While today, electronic pick-pocketing – hacking credit card and passport information electronically -transcends the implication of stealing someone’s wallet and getting away with it. This is especially the case in crowded malls, markets, airports and in unfamiliar foreign countries.
Overseas Travel has Just Became more Problematic!
Catching a flight at any airport is already a mission in itself. Arriving at least two hours before your flight, luggage handling, long lines, security checks, and long delays are all what makes going through the airport such a big challenge. Now travelers have something else to be worried about – electronic pickpockets.
What makes this even scarier is that you will not receive any indication that this method of identity theft has been perpetrated on you. These electronic pickpockets could be common criminals or even terrorists. You just don’t know.
That unknown aspect alone is such a Mind Blower. It could be anyone in the crowd!
Passports with Micro-Chip Identification
If you’re planning an overseas trip you will need your U.S. passport. Passports issued by the United States are now embedded with the same type of micro-chips that new credit cards are equipped with. That means your U.S. passport is vulnerable to malicious attack too!
Passport Rfid micro-chips include important personal information. The bearers name, nationality, date of birth, and even a photo. In less than 10 seconds, a passenger’s passport can be stolen and transferred to a cheap Rfid reader. These are available on the internet for under $20.
What can you do to Protect Yourself?
While there are currently over 300 million Rfid-enhanced credit/debit cards and passports, it is important to insure the safety of your personal information and financial resources. You need to be proactive in protecting yourself!
There are many solutions available ranging from the simple to the ridiculous. Although many so-called solutions claim to work many in-fact don’t. Many rely on very cheap solutions like a very thin film of aluminum to cover the credit card or passport. Sometimes this can work. In most cases it simply doesn’t. If the film tares, then it won’t work!
For effective protection you need a product that incorporates proven Rfid blocking technology. A product that screens out radio frequency signals from 10 MHz to 3,000 MHz. A technical material specifically designed to deflect incoming radio waves. A micro-fiber material woven with a number of conductive metals – copper, aluminum, titanium, brass, tin, etc…
This is the same material that the NSA and the CIA use, when they build a facility that won’t leak radio waves or that people can’t eavesdrop into.
Buy Rfid Blocking Travel Organizers and Wallets
Be smart and be careful. Buying an Rfid blocking wallet is money well spent. They are inexpensive in comparison to the value of protection they provide.
A genuine Rfid blocking wallet incorporating micro-fiber technology does not come cheap. As you could imagine, micro-fiber material is very expensive to manufacture because of all the exotic metal fibers it contains.
