With my recent post on the ATM bandits saga, there is now a clear and imminent present danger which may hit the streets - and that is to do with identity theft. In this article from Security Focus, the dangers of RFID are addressed especially for people who are carrying biometric passports and credit cards. RFID is susceptible to a short distance While authorities are still insisting that this technology is safe, it might be worthwhile to invest on a simple RFID wallet with aluminium strips as described here. Afterall, RFID is remotely susceptible just as WIFI wireless.
