What is RFID?
RFID stands for 'Radio Frequency Identification', and this wireless technology is now used in many credit cards and passports. RFID chips are placed in some credit cards to enable quick and easy scanning of your personal data for faster payments, and passports contain these chips to make them easy to scan and obtain your details when checking in at the airport.
About Wireless Identity Theft
As RFID chips in passports and bank cards can make them easier to scan, this sadly opens up an opportunity for identity thieves who can get their hands on illegal RFID scanners. All they have to do is stand near enough to you and press a button on their scanner and they can obtain your name, address, bank account information and other sensitive data that you need to keep private. RFID blocking accessories also help to stop accidental credit card payments, which can happen if you're stood near a contactless payment machine. Our RFID accessories contain special RFID blocking layers to prevent illegal scanners from obtaining your personal data, so you don't have to worry about identity theft during your holiday, or even when you're just out and about!
