Armourcard beats RFID skimmers, without changing your wallet

Protecting your credit cards from wireless skimming no longer requires switching out your wallet, thanks to a new device, released out of Australia, that uses electronic jamming technology to beat RFID scanners at their own game. The major banks have really jumped on board the contactless payment bandwagon, offering their customers simple credit card transactions without the need to swipe a magnetic strip or enter a PIN. The cards use Radio Frequency Identification, allowing shoppers to electronically share card details with a payment terminal, all by passing their card near the terminal.
