Are these RFID chips which can be read from distances? I did not see this in this addressed in the article. It does sound as though these are impenetrable, but we all know better. I know biometric info can be stored on them as well. I am waiting to see the dark underbelly of this. The article did not mention the exact numbers of hacking compared with our “old- fashioned” method. I want to see hard data, not climate changing money to follow data. Can we even get hard numbers anymore?
You can purchase small shielded cases for your credit cards so that the RFID chip can’t be read from nearby/stolen.
