I wonder if he scans for any credit card data with an RFID reader.
- mpclark 14y agoThat's only slightly more likely than mind reading. Edit: D'oh! Changed "less" to "more"...
- anonymouz 14y agoWould've been ok with "less" too.
- veemjeem 14y agohow do you scan for credit card data with a rfid reader? very few credit cards have rfid.
- Jach 14y agoHere's a story from earlier this year http://www.pcworld.com/article/249138/rfid_credit_cards_are_easy_prey_for_hackers_demo_shows.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/249138/rfid_credit_cards_are_... And as other commenters have noted, you only need to "succeed" with a few people to put together this video, so even if only a small portion of the population has a vulnerable card it can be enough. But even a vulnerable CC might not have enough info, so we can consider an even more classic magician's/pickpocketer's trick of swiping the person's wallet off them without them noticing and getting a password reset on their online transaction history page using the physical card and info gathered from social networks to pull off the simple social engineering. Not very likely, but if we're trying to come up with ways to get at a person's transaction history...
