RFID MasterCard

Posted by michael on from the swipe-on-swipe-off dept.

starburst writes "MasterCard introduces a RFID MasterCard called PayPass in Orlando Florida. They tout the convenience of no more swiping or giving your card to cashiers. They claim the card has to be within an inch of the reader to be read -- how long till criminals are walking the malls, or next to you in line with portable readers getting your card information?"

  1. Photo and PIN on Cash Card / Credit Card?? by justinmc · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If my photo had to be on my Credit Card and also I had to enter a Secret PIN to use it - would that stop a load of Credit Card Fraud??
    If I am at the store, they compare my photo to me?
    However I guess some people would not like carrying an ID card (which it could make the Credit Card?) around with them??
    Just my two bits (0&1)
