Orlando, FL — November 30, 2015 — Kate Rutherford, RFID Vault spokesperson, announced that the firm has launched its RFID Vault credit card and passport protectors in time for Cyber Monday sales. The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/RFID-Blocking-Sleeves-Protector-Protection/dp/B0150T0AI2/?ie=UTF8&m=A8G127BZKAULA&keywords=rfid+sleeve">RFID blocking sleeves</a> offer an easy and convenient way for individuals to protect their RFID chip enabled cards and passports from data skimmers.

“Data thieves can steal the information from your credit cards and passports from 3 feet away, but sophisticated machines are able to access information up to 600 feet away,” said Rutherford.

Credit Vault protectors are sold in sets of 12 and include 2 additional sleeves for passports. All the company’s protectors are lined with a specialized coating that blocks the radio frequencies used by thieves to activate the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips embedded in credit cards, driver’s licenses and passports.

Cards fit snugly in the protectors and consumers don’t have to worry about cutting or trimming them to fit. Lightweight but powerful, they can be slipped in a pocket, purse or wallet. The devices block radio waves coming from skimmers, even when cards or passports are kept in luggage, backpacks, briefcases or diaper bags.

RFID chips are placed in credit cards, driver’s licenses and passports as part of enhanced consumer protection efforts and in the interest of national security. Legitimate RFID readers are everywhere around the world and individuals simply remove their card or license from the protective sleeve when they need to use it.

RFID machines are small, portable and can be hidden in briefcases, backpacks, purses and totes, and the digital pick-pocketing can be accomplished in less than 10 seconds. Portable skimmers aren’t the only way thieves can abscond with the data. Smartphone apps are available that can be downloaded and no one thinks twice about someone next to them using a mobile device.

Security specialists estimate that 70 percent of all cards will be vulnerable to skimming. The data is harvested and transferred to fraudulent cards that can be replicated on the go in a matter of minutes. Individuals are always at risk, but harvesting is especially prevalent at busy travel terminals and during holiday shopping.

Available just in time for Cyber Monday sales, the RFID blocking sleeves provide individuals with an added level of safety anytime they go out or travel and comes with a 100 percent customer guarantee. There’s a sharp increase in RFID skimming during the holidays and RFID Vault protectors prevent data thieves from stealing identities and financial information (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/RFID-Blocking-Sleeves-Protector-Protection/dp/B0150T0AI2/?ie=UTF8&m=A8G127BZKAULA&keywords=rfid+sleeve">amazon.com/RFID-Blocking-Sleeves-Protector-Protection/dp/B0150T0AI2/</a>).
