Secure Sleeve®, Secure Badgeholder®, and Secure Wallet™ products create an RFID shield by blocking the electromagnetic energy necessary to power and communicate with contactless smart cards, passports, enhanced drivers licenses (EDLs), TWIC, PIV, CAC and transit cards. This is essential to total security because although most contactless smart card systems implement industry-standard security mechanisms, readers can be modified to access information without authorization.
Credit card readers can be easily purchased that will read the credit account number, expiration date, and in some cases even name off your new RFID enabled credit card. These readers can easily be concealed by electronic pickpocketers so that someone could walk through a crowd, ride on a subway, elevator, or other crowded area and steal nearby credit card information without the card holder ever knowing it happened.
The credit card companies response is that you don't have the 3 digit code so you can't do anything with the information. That is incorrect however as many telephone order merchants don't ask for the 3 digit code. Also we were able to take the information scanned from a card and put it on any magnetic stripe card and use it to make a purchase as demonstrated in the news video below.
