In case you think traces of data on your hard disk is an unlikely source of ID theft here’s a couple of easy ways NIR information can be gathered with minimal effort (and therefore maximum profit!!!!). And remember because NIR information will be ‘valid’ in perpetuity it can be traded long after the information is stolen (and even if it is encrypted it will be just like futures options on the stock exchange, people will be willing to bet on whether the encryption can be readily broken or bypassed).<\/p>\n

\nThe retailer has a recorder box between the RFID scanner and the NIR connection and skims the RFID & fingerprint data, he has also put some thin film on the fingerprint scanner which now has your fingerprint on it.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n The retailer skims your credit card information<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe retailer gets the information transmitted by your ID card, the NIR ready data from your fingerprint, a valid fingerprint for the ID card, your credit card details – he can use these directly or sell this information to someone else (or both)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou leave your coat with the waiter
\nYour wallet is in your coat<\/p>\n
\nThe waiter skims all your cards with a stand alone reader while you are at your table<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou leave your fingerprints all over the menu, the waiter takes care to only touch the top edge of the menu<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe waiter lifts your prints off the menu and sells this with your card information<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou cannot get new fingerprints, and you cannot invalidate them if access to public services and your own money depends on them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
