In a week, the credit card companies will roll out what I believe to be a predecessor to The Mark of The Beast. About a year ago I read an article that warned about this coming technology, and I’ve been following the technology ever since. The article mentioned an overhaul of the current credit card system, in order to help prevent fraud.
On October 15, 2015 all credit card processors will be required to upgrade their machines to accept cards containing RFID chips, in addition to the strips. The RFID technology is supposed to be more secure than the current strip used by credit cards, and I believe they intend to phase out the stripe sometime in the future. Probably sooner than later.
It’s only a matter of time before hackers and thieves figure out how to get our information off of the chip, and into their freeloading hands. At that point, there will be the need for a new solution. Maybe a chip in the right hand or forehead? I believe this is where we are headed, and unfortunately there isn’t much we can do about it. I for one am not fully confident in the security of this new technology, so I looked into ways to protect my information from freeloading thieves.
Credit card fraud destroys people’s credit, finances, and sometimes their lives, if the situation can’t be resolved in favor of the victim. Hopefully you haven’t experienced this, but please be aware that the danger is very real, and I for one, don’t want to be a victim.
After doing quite a bit of research online, I ran into these RFID Blocking Sleeves on Amazon, and they are supposed to protect your cards from thieves. They have some really good reviews posted, but I don’t know of any way to tell if they are actually working or not. Maybe they do and maybe they don’t, but I think the little peace of mind that they offer is worth the very small investment.
If you have any insight or information regarding the usefulness of these sleeve, please leave a comment because I’d like to know and I’m sure anyone that reads this article would like to know as well. If we are going to make it through these coming times, we need to stick together, and keep the information flowing.
If Your Information Is Lost or Stolen
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but if your information is ever lost or stolen, you should contact your bank or card company immediately. Most card companies will not hold you liable for fraudulent charges if you report the theft immediately. If you wait, it could ruin what you’ve built.
