How to hack RFID-enabled Credit Cards for $8 (BBtv)
February 5th, 2010 | by admin |
A number of credit card companies now issue credit cards with embedded RFIDs (radio frequency ID tags), with promises of enhanced security and speedy transactions.
But on today’s episode of Boing Boing tv, hacker and inventor Pablos Holman shows Xeni how you can use about $8 worth of gear bought on eBay to read personal data from those credit cards — cardholder name, credit card number, and whatever else your bank embeds in this manner.
Fears over data leaks from RFID-enabled cards aren’t new, and some argue they’re overblown — but this demo shows just how cheap and easy the “sniffing” can be.
This episode is part of our ongoing series of interviews with some of the thinkers, hackers, and tinkerers at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology conference this year.

OK, Family meeting folks, need to cut cost, for starters bare bone essentials only, canceling all insurance policies (frauds anyway) walk away from credit cards (Fico: huge fraud), walk and bye bye underwater mortgage. Hey,…it’s just a pragmatic family business decision. Got the idea from the Wall Street too big to fail banks, I hear they are really good at it, loading up on ammo, start me a family weed/veggie garden, shop local, pop me a cool one and,..Oh, well it.

This method is too risky unless someone figured a way to increase the RF signal to simultaneously grab data from thousands of CC’s. I’d rather just find ways to sql inject and gather bots and sniff out the cc info ;o)
