How to hack RFID-enabled Credit Cards for $8 (BBtv)
Uploaded by: boingboingtv
Video Description:
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.

Also, the "Federal Reserve Bank" is NOT an agency of the Federal government, as the name implies -- it is a Banking Cartel -- just like a DRUG Cartel -- a bunch of crooks trying to insure that no one else gets in and gets a "slice of the pie"! One of the worst things to happen was the formation of the Federal Reserve Banking System in 1913.

Speaking of "doing your history" up until 1913 people were doing a great job saving money and the banks were not happy because they weren't making much money. There was plenty of money in people's savings and as you mentioned the "fractional reserve banking" was put into practice yet. So when the Federal Reserve Banking System took over, the "fractional reserve" banking system was put into practice.

Since my existing non-chipped card is valid for 2 more years, I decided to cut up the chipped card and stick the pieces in the microwave. Made a nice fireworks show complete with sound effects. Bye bye chip.
Called up Chase and told them never to send me a chipped card again. Also said if the only choice is a chipped card when my old card expires, then I will close my account
