Credit Cards Can Be Hack By RFID Readers!!!
Beware... some of the banks in the US are now issuing credit cards with an RFID chip hidden somewhere invisible in the credit card. I guess this is a security issue that the people living in developed countries are facing. I guess, and I'm hoping, that in Asia, it would take several years before they adapt the RFID technology.
What's the problem with RFID chips installed in credit cards? RFID stands for radio-frequency identification. If you don't know how it works, RFID works like bluetooth or infrared on our mobile phones. The information that an RFID gives is personal. But there's this anti-RFID invention called rfid wallet which prevents the information in the rfid-enabled cards inside the wallet from being stolen. So when someone holds a hand-held go-anywhere RFID reader, he won't be able to read your credit cards information.
