Women’s Leather Wallet Features Radio Frequency ID Theft Protection and also Smartphone/Tablet Charger
It’s your wallet’s new worst enemy. Thieves are now extremely advanced when it comes to stealing your credit card number, and ultimately your digital ID.
Digital Treasures, makers of innovative accessories and electronic products, have introduced the “Power Pochette,” a stylish leather wallet that protects against the electronic stealing of personal data from RFID (radio frequency identification) enabled credit and debit cards.
The Power Pochette features high-security, scan-proof RFID protection technology that guards consumer’s personal and financial information. It also features a powerful battery for charging cell phones and tablets on the go. There are currently an estimated 100 million RFID credit and debit cards in circulation and the number is expected to grow to over one billion in a few years, leaving many consumers at risk.
What Is RFID and Why Are Consumers At Risk?
Regular credit cards have magnetic strips, which must come in contact with a card reader to read the financial information on the card. RDIF enabled credit and debit cards have an antenna built in that is designed to receive radio frequency signals from a contactless reader, which leave consumers vulnerable to digital thieves accessing and recording information stored on the cards.
Most consumers are almost certain to have RFID items in their wallet or purse. RFID chips are currently found in many debit and credit cards, driver’s licenses, key fobs, cellular phones, passports, and other sensitive items. These RFID chips can contain personal information such as credit card information, including card number, expiration date, and even the CCV security number that can easily be exploited for identity and monetary theft.
“We are proud to offer this product because we want to protect consumers from being exploited and having personal information stolen. The Power Pochette offers both peace-of-mind and style”, Brian Austin, President of Digital Treasures said.
Data breaches and stealing of data can secretly happen almost anywhere in public. Using the Power Pochette assures that thieves will not be able to steal any personal information via wireless readers.
The cost of the power pochette is around $59.00 USD and it is available at Amazon, Sam’s Club, Brookstone and Digital Treasures‘ Web Store.
