• RFID chips are those that utilize “radio frequency identification” & among other places, are found in many of today’s credit cards. These cards allow you to simply tap your card at a store to pay with that tap, rather than inserting or swiping your card into a reader. How? The marvel of radio waves. Your card emits waves that contain info & readers pick up that info.
• Skimming is the practice of intercepting credit card info by using a reader to steal it. Imagine standing in public & unknowingly having your digits lifted by someone standing near you while you in line at Target. Practice digit defense instead! • Simply store your credit cards in these durable sleeves lined with thin sheets of metal which serve as a barrier for all of this radio chatter.
