I have’nt seen this video in ages, and as soon as I heard her voice, I said “THAT DAMN CRAZY PIZZA WOMAN!”

really based on what tech? you need to be pretty close to read it.

I think it’s funny how people think you need to be close for rfid or that it’s safe. I can make a scanner with $25 and get all your info if you have a paypass credit card in a matter of seconds and I don’t need to be anywhere near you. As for it being the mark of the beast, that’s your interpretation. Although, they do seem very similar. Seems interesting how the sheep in the population want this technology around. Looks like the wolves can exploit you while they make it so easy to hack.

I’m not doubting it’s a good idea to inform people and let them choose stuff. But RFID has been around for years, and many important things already depend on it. So unfortunately, while the industry works on better ways to secure it, we still have to deal with a flawed technology. Informing people of it’s hack-ability might cause mass problems, even if it might push for a more secure system, faster. I still think it is in the best interest of everyone, not to TV-air the hacking of these things.

You said “RFID chips are NOTHING more than a wireless version of the magnetic strip on the back of credit cards” but in reality the magnetic strips are more secure because you need to be much closer, thus you seem to like a system that allows gathering of info remotely.

Trying to stop information from spreading is never going to work. The correct thing to do would rather be to inform the people affected so they can choose for themselves wether it’s worth the risk of using the technology or not.

uh, did I say that?
Of course it’s not a good thing if hackers do that, unfortunately they already do, and probably will forever… But the technology is making advancements in RFID, or similar tech, security wise.
That’s likely the reason Mythbusters weren’t allowed to go into those details on TV. Until the securities of these things can be locked in, it’s probably not a good idea to tell everyone on a massively popular TV show.

So you believe it’s a good thing if hackers can steal your credit card info or identity by just getting a scanner a few feet from you?
Also just as you can write data to cards with magnetic strips you can write data to some RFID chips. Used in public transport etc.
