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.

Now if only the mythbusters were allowed to do a show about this. Then the public would know with a big fat fraud RFID is. In other words it's just an excuse for credit card companies to jack up your rates for having such a card in the first place. And to add insult to injury, make you liable for any fraud that happens on your card when they made it easier for crooks to steal your information in the first place.

Mythbusters will never do a show on how easy it is to hack RFID credit cards because they (and their producers, Discovery channel) were threatened by the legal counsels of every major credit card company with massive reprisals if they did. Search "why the Mythbusters will never do RFID" on YT to see Savage tell the story.
