Enjoy the stay - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
while this is unnerving...its really a moot point...how many times have you given your credit card to a waitress or given it to a fast food vendor...its nothing different. We hand our cards to let people take them away and swipe behind our backs...not to mention, if your card info is stolen, any decent card company doesnt make you pay for it. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Man! That's my AMEX card in the photo!

Keep it to yourself next time and just move on to the next story. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers

I had nothing to do with the $750 that was charged to my card at www.indianbootyhunters.com
I was a victim of a hacked RFID card. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers

Handing your card to the waitress exposes the card just to the person and restaurant, but with RFID, the guy at the table next to you can know your card information as well. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
@Sean
RFID typically doesn't travel that far - usually a few inches only. However if someone was to brush up against your with a RFID reader, then they would get your card info. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
I'll stick to chip + pin thanks.
If my bank ever "switched" me over to an unsecured RFID card despite my insistence, I'll simply stop dealing with them. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
If the dude on Prison Break is to be believed, he could have read your credit card info wirelessly WITHOUT RFID anyway... - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
1. I don't use credit cards. 2. Who the %^$& watches prison break? - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
What's the point of RFID on CCs anyways? Since you probably need to buy something and enter your PIN, couldn't you just plug the card to the reader... - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Credit Cards = Satan's flat plastic fingers. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
you = uneducated. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
I feel safer already. Because everyone knows that Mythbusters only tackles issues that no one's ever heard about or researched on their own so as long as they don't talk about it, it doesn't exist.
I'm also glad I build my ostrich house. It keeps other bad things from happening. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
i don't think so.
MB tracks and try to prove myths, if a myth exist then some one must has been thought, lived or even tried to do it. For example the diet-cola and mentos. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Apparently, Sarcasm is a concept that is beyond the above responder... - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
@Magallanes
I think Anthony's sarcasm was lost on you. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Magallanes look up the definition of "Sarcasm" and you will understand why your comment is being marked down. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
TavisJohn: Look up the definition of redundancy and you will understand why YOUR comment is being marked down. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
I've seen things on RFID hacking of credit cards, and this was many moons ago before the stories about RFID hacking for bostons subway system were making news.
I'll give you the punch line: having an RFID credit card is only slightly safer than pinning a poster board to your chest with your all the cards info on it. The only reason it's slightly safer is because you need a sniffer to pull the RFID info.
Bottom line: Myth confirmed, RFID credit cards are the worst idea ever. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Is that you, Mr. Imahara? Excellent show, BTW! - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
Yes. If you implement RFID it should be on something with a tad more security. A cellphone, for instance, where you can disable the chip or PIN-protect it. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
i dont know whats so hard about putting security on RFID, a simple encryption-decryption would halved the number of potential hacker - Comments on Mythbusters RFID hacking episode canned by credit card company lawyers
And probably doubled the cost of the card. It's cheaper for them to eat the cost of the fraud than to make all the cards more secure. We'll only see secure cards when the cost of the fraud is greater than the cost of the security. - Comments on Mythbusters RFID
