Protect Your Data From Radio Frequency Theft
Your documents such as credit cards, passports, and other forms of identification may have tags which make them susceptible to theft using radio frequency (RFID). While not an incredibly common type of theft right now, it is a futuristic and technologically savvy crime.In other words, it has the potential to bring about a new age of pickpocketing. A person equipped with radio frequency technology in a scanner or some other device may only need to pass by you on the sidewalk to obtain a multitude of your personal information. As technologies advance and the proximity to information becomes increasingly more prevalent, it is more important than ever to take steps toward protecting your data.

We recommend you use (non-magnetic) metal lined wallets or invest in a protective shield for your cards to block this frequency from reading your information.
