rfid credit card

A big number of serious crimes are hard to solve especially when it comes to credit cards. I have a credit card, so far I am not a victim and I pray that I will not be a victim. There are lot of ways in stealing your credit card aside from pick-pocketing.  Because of the technology today, did you know that they can now steal your wallet without reaching into your pocket just by using an electronic device. But how can we keep rfid credit card safe? There is this question I read in an article that does RFID make it easier to steal? They said that thieves could get your card information remotely through a scanner, but adds that they probably wouldn't be able to use it. Unlike magnetic stripe cards, RFID credit cards encrypt a cardholder's information. To access a consumer's account, thieves not only have to scan the card, they also have to break the card issuer's encryption. That is very scary! The good news is that electronic pick-pocketing is easily preventable by using rfid blocking wallets, sleeves and badge holders.
