This video shows how easy it can be to obtain someone's credit card information using very cheap and easy to come by products. This only applies to the RFID enabled credit cards with wireless chipsets embedded in them. The video below demonstrates it with an American Express but I believe there are RFID cards available through Visa & Mastercard currently as well. The demonstration uses a laptop and requires the would-be thief/hacker to get close to his victim but its only a matter of time before the same results may be obtainable so discreetly that a victim would never know it has happened. If this doesn't prove the insecurity of the current RFID platform, nothing will. I know I wont be carrying an RFID card any time soon...
