(MoneyNewsWire.Net, December 28, 2015 ) Sunnyvale, CA -- Card Armor is again cautioning credit card carrying consumers to be on the lookout for fraudulent activity and take steps to protect themselves against identify theft and credit card skimming. This latest warning comes as the holiday season enters into full-swing and criminal activity escalates. The Javelin Strategy & Research 2015 Data Breach Fraud Impact Report has predicted a significant spike in credit card breaches for 2015/2016, further supporting Card Armor's call for vigilance. Radio frequency identification (RFID Blocking Sleeves) chips are widely used in credit cards, passports, driver's licenses, and other commonly used cards. While convenient, this technology can be easily breached by criminals.
"We are acutely aware of how easy it is to become a victim of credit card crime. Our company has been retailing RFID Blocking Sleeves for some time now and we have had thousands of customers come to us after having their credit card information stolen", said CEO and founder of Card Armor Ms. Fabian.
"The problem is that basically anyone with a RFID card reader can access your information if you don't take measures to protect it. They can activate the RFID chip in your card from several feet away and you won't even know about it. Busy shopping malls are a prime target. In the lead-up to Christmas and post-Christmas/New Year sales time, this criminal activity is significantly escalated because there is a big increase in spending and more people are out and about. Plus, many people go on vacation, and tourists are always a prime target", added Ms. Fabian.
Card Armor encourages everyone to use RFID Blocking Sleeves. These simple but effective sleeves are designed to hold credit cards, driver's licenses and other cards that have RFID chips. They feature a black back and a transparent front for easy identification of the stored card. These blocking sleeves prevent RFID scanners reading the information stored on the card without permission. Sold in packs of six, this product is currently being sold on Amazon.com. This is an affordable means to provide peace of mind and safeguard sensitive information in a time where criminal activity is heightened.
