(MoneyNewsWire.Net, July 13, 2015 ) United Kingdom, Yorkshire -- RFID Blocking Sleeves are one of the most up to date security measures for credit and debit card holders across the world. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, and the blocking sleeves are designed to protect credit, debit and other smart cards against fraud and identity theft.
Wireless theft is one of the largest and fastest growing crimes in the world today, and is an increasing risk for anyone who owns a credit or debit card. Most modern cards are now equipped with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip. This chip is a very small piece of equipment located within the card itself, which stores all of the confidential personal and financial information of the individual on the card. This information can include everything from names and addresses to bank details and PIN numbers.
Thieves are now able to quickly and easily scan these RFID chips wirelessly through the airwaves through the use of electromagnetic interference – basically programming electronic devices to emit at the same frequency as the chip, thereby connecting to it and gaining access to all of that information, even through clothing and wallets. Thieves then programme this information onto another card and use it as their own. This is known as cloning, and means that they can take unlimited funds from the bank accounts of unsuspecting strangers.
There are numerous ways to protect card details against fraud and identity theft, one of the more simple methods being the use of RFID Blocking Sleeves. These are slim, lightweight sleeves designed to hold individual cards, and are equipped with a thin aluminium coating on the inside of the sleeve which literally blocks the signals emitted by theft devices from reaching the RFID chip. This in turn means that thieves can no longer scan or access confidential details whilst cards are secured inside the RFID Blocking Sleeve.
An increasing number of office stores and suppliers are now stocking Dearo RFID Blocking Sleeves. They are also available to purchase from Amazon now.
