Protecting Your Digital Footprint
Technology has given us wonderful things and freedom but has also opened the opportunity for crooks. It’s a sad but real truth, thieves are developing new and clever ways to steal your valuable financial information. Criminals can secure your credit card data simply by walking past you with an electronic scanner or conceivably a cell phone.
This threat is due to the implementation of radio-frequency identification chips (RFID) or Near Field Communications (NFC) chips being embedded in all new credit cards and ATM/Debit Cards. (Ironically to make identify theft more secure) Even large financial institutions can run in to this issue as Barclay’s Bank did in Great Britain as this video shows.
Is the danger a significant threat to you? Probably not (at the moment) but a simple fix can ease your mind. By inserting your cards into a protective sleeve (shown top left) that has a protective internal foil, scanners can not read your cards. Think an aluminum hat to keep the aliens or the government from scanning your brain… same thing!
This product is a great promotional product for your company also… especially if you are in any type of security or financial company. They are inexpensive and a valuable tool for you and your clients.
