(MoneyNewsWire.Net, May 07, 2015 ) United Kingdom, Yorkshire -- Fraud and Identity Theft are two of the biggest and fastest growing crimes across the modern world today. The biggest threat comes from thieves being able to electronically pickpocket thousands of unassuming members of the public going about their business, who for the most part are completely unaware that they are in any danger from such crimes.
Modern credit, debit and smart cards come equipped with a built-in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip. The RFID chip is a small electronic chip that stores all confidential personal and financial information associated with that particular card. This information includes bank details, names, addresses and PIN and security numbers. Although this is undoubtedly an incredible development in technology, it has also meant that it has become easier for thieves to use similar technology to be able to hack into this information, without arousing suspicion from their target or people around them.
Thieves commit wireless theft via electromagnetic interference. They do this by using specially reprogrammed electronic devices such as phones and tablets to wirelessly scan the RFID chips in credit cards and other smart cards. They can do this without even touching a person or their cards, instead they simple walk past and scan their electronic device close to bags, purses and pockets, and if there are credit cards in there, the information from those RFID chips will be automatically transferred onto the theft device. Confidential data can be extracted through clothing and bags, so just having cards in a wallet will not protect them.
One method that will protect cards and data however, is the use of RFID Blocking Sleeves. These are slim, lightweight, durable sleeves that hold individual cards and fit securely and conveniently inside wallets, purses and pockets. The sleeves are equipped with a thin aluminium coating on the inside, which acts as a literal shield against the signals emitted by electronic theft devices. This means that those signals cannot reach the RFID chip, and therefore all information is protected.
Dearo RFID Blocking Sleeves are available to purchase in packs of ten from Amazon.
