(MoneyNewsWire.Net, January 25, 2016 ) Sunnyvale, CA -- Credit card fraud and identity theft are crimes that are on the rise in the United States. This increase in criminal behavior has been partly brought on by flaws in certain technologies. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is one area of modern technology that is being successfully manipulated by criminals.
This advanced technology is embedded in most credit and debit cards, passports, driver's licenses, and business security IDs. A fast and convenient way to transmit information, RFID technology has grown in popularity. The problem is that this technology can be easily hacked by anyone that has access to a RFID scanner and this has paved the way for a new form of cyber crime. However, companies like Card Armor are fighting back.
Card Armor retails a special type of RFID Blocking Sleeve that prevents unauthorized access or transfer of information stored on RFID chips. Card Armor clients such as Erin De Leon are very impressed with this unique design which is nothing like any other product currently on the market:
"The sleeve blockers are really well constructed. I am not worried about them ripping or falling apart at all. I put my debit and credit cards in each one as well as my driver's license. I like that the front side is clear so that you can still see the information on your license. That way, you wouldn't have to take it out to use it. I was able to easily slide the credit and debit cards into their slots."
All other RFID blocking sleeves currently available are heavily criticized for various failings, such as being too flimsy, being made out of poor materials, the absence of a clear cover slip, and inappropriate sizes. Card Armor has addressed all these problems to create a high-end product. The company has also been working hard to educate the public about the risks of RFID technology, much to the relief of people like Ms. De Leon:
"All in all, I really like this product. I had no idea that there were people out there that had machines that could steal your personal information from the chips in your cards and then steal your identity, without ever even touching your card."
