Who's the brilliant genius that thought that credit cards that transmit your info was a good idea?

Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.

"can I say this? Sonovabitch!"

priceless.

thanx to snotr...ill be rich soon

If this keeps going we're going to have to wrap ourselves in foil...

Well, I've ordered myself one of them card reading devices. Let the fraud BEGIN.

Thank god I'm always wearing my trusty tin foil underwear!

Everyone has a weird side, especially about wireless, like when thinking about sex, it makes brain stop working.

Never underestimate the power of the bad idea: "let's make it wireless"!!

Because, about wireless, everybody will always tend to go forward blindly, like sexually excited.

As an example, soon some monkeys will install wireless systems to control train railroad tracks switches! It will create new opportunities for making serious pranks!

Poor me, having no creditcards, only cash .... next time they invent a way to read all cardss in a train by a simple cellphone app. and collecting million dollars instantly, transfering it into a stolen account, then to an other account in Russia. and money is gone.

Could be a movieplot, but reality is close...

Never thought Id see my local news anchor, Guy Atchley on SNOTR.

I remember when Mobil introduced the Speedpass, before the Exxon merger. I saw this coming back then. Sure enough, credit and debit cards, drivers licenses and passports, pretty much like I imagined it would be.
Convenience? Yeah! Right! RFID is like a “friend” you don't dare turn your back on.

To snotr admins: I got a warning in both chrome and firefox that snotr is not safe and conatins viruses..

Here is a solution for this problem: https://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/accessories/8cdd/?srp=8

#13 me too,
Firefox and opera: "www.snotr.com Page contains malware"

what's going on?

Well, the issue in not that you can electronically read the card data. The issue is that reading/taking picture of a card (which should not be a problem for any rough seller) is all you need - flipping card for a second on a way o card reader and little better camera on the ceilin is all he needs. BTW portable POS terminals are trasmitting unecrypted data so the only protection layer is the Wifi the terminal uses...

At the end she says that thieves cant profit from this crime. They obviously can, so i wonder why she says that. two things come to mind. either as a deterrent to all the criminals they just gave a cc fraud tutorial to, or to stem the panic of the masses :/

Either way, it speaks volumes about how much respect they have for their audience if they think anyone will believe such a pathetic lie.
