Charles Nash asked:
I wanted to talk to you about the RFID wallet because in the next few years it is going to be something that you must have. This acronym is known as Radio Frequency Identification. The idea behind it was really for inventory purposes by stores. The idea was that instead of having a bar code, you could have a frequency coming off the product. This would make it really easy to track it down if it got lost. This type of system came to light when they came up with a new type of cheap microchip that was so small that the human eye can’t even see it.
You’re probably wondering what this has to do with identify theft or your wallet. As you can guess this technology was intended for a very specific purpose when it came out, but other uses became much more apparent. Today you’re going to find that this technology is going to be on your credit card, bank card and even your passport. I’m not saying that it is there today, but it’s coming to you within a few years. You can probably bet that when your credit card expires that you’ll get a new one with this technology. This is where the RFID wallet is much more useful for you.
Even though we really don’t have the technology now to take advantage of all the wireless features of this type of technology, they’re putting it on to help with identification and possible future methods of payment. For something like your passport, it is designed to prevent fraud.
With this new type of technology, you’re going to get a new type of hacker that is going to try to steal your identify and steal your credit card information. Since your credit card will constantly have a frequency that can be picked up by anyone, you can essentially have your credit card hacked and information stolen.
The RFID wallet is designed to contain the signals that your cards will let off. This means that there is no way that any radio signal is going to get outside the wallet and that means there is no way someone can pick up on the frequency. This is something very important that you’re going to have to get very soon because it is going to be the new firewall against a new type of hacker.
The great thing about these RFID blocker wallets is that they don’t look bulky or weird. You can get them as regular leather type wallets, but they have built in material that completely contains any frequencies that could be broadcasting from your cards.
All of this might seem scary, but the fact is that you shouldn’t be scared. I’m not trying to fill you with paranoia or anything like that. What I’m trying to do is educate you on the subject because within a few years this is the way the technology is going to go. The last thing you want is someone that steals your credit card information simply because you walked by them and they were able to pick up the radio frequency.
