]]> Comment on Another RFID Hack – Contactless Credit Cards by Antonio Romeo http://www.securerf.com/RFID-Security-blog/?p=47&cpage=1#comment-157674 Antonio Romeo Wed, 28 Sep 2011 20:34:30 +0000 http://www.securerf.com/RFID-Security-blog/?p=47#comment-157674 Credit Cards (PayPass, Paywave, BLink, ExpressPay, and with the ))) symbol are all RFID enabled. This technology in the cards broadcasts data whenever pinged by a reader. The RFID on the card cannot be turned off. Our solutions is to shield the credit card using our ID Stronghold Secure Sleeves for Payment Cards. This prevents unauthorized Readers/ Hackers from gaining access to your card data.

I've been working on multiple RFID security research projects since before this period and I agree, the change in popularity has been notable. The same can be said about NFC as high-profile companies have been working on mobile RF/NFC products. Thanks for posting this, it was very informative.

]]> Comment on Media Reactions: RFID Kills but Cell Phones Don’t? by Jessica http://www.securerf.com/RFID-Security-blog/?p=65&cpage=1#comment-154049 Jessica Sun, 24 Apr 2011 06:47:10 +0000 http://www.securerf.com/RFID-Security-blog/?p=65#comment-154049 Hello, My dog has a microchip (standard pet chip which is ISO RFID chip operating at 125khz inserted just under the skin between the shoulder blades) and I have fears we are being watched / recorded / studied due to this - and alot of the research Ive done on the subject has lead me to find lots of stories of tracking / tracing / research and other breaches of privacy due to these pet chips. I no longer agree with the idea of my dog having this "chip" active inside him. I have enquired at my vet about removal, which is not possible and even if I found someone who would do it, due to his extremely small size, the anaesthetic needed to operate under is more likely to kill him, and he has a high risk of infection on the area - I will not put his life at risk - surgery is not an option. Is there anyway I can deactivate / destroy / disable the RFID chip, without injuring my dog? PLEASE HELP Thankyou so much for taking the time to read this, Jessie x Hello,
