RFID policy panel raises privacy concerns

Beware if you have your info ingrained in your Speedpass or the contactless major credit cards. It is easily accessible by anyone with an RFID tag reader. RFID labels don't check readers for authentication, so identity thieves could set up their own readers that impersonate legitimate ones. Like anyother technology the hackers and thieves are sitting waiting patiently to exploit the weakness that comes packaged as a convinience. BEWARE!!!!!!
