RFID Skimmer Could Steal Your Credit Card Number While It's Still in Your Wallet

You may have already received one of the latest improvements in credit card technology -- a card with an embedded radio frequency identification (RFID) chip.

These cards use radio waves to transmit your information simply by swiping it through the air in the proximity of the reader. Unfortunately, a recent demonstration by an industry expert showed that this RFID skimmer technology might make you vulnerable to tech-savvy thieves who could steal your credit card information without ever even seeing the card.
