Seems that the mainstream media is finally bothering to report on the legitimate security problems with contactless RFID credit/debit cards.

Here's an excellent report from 2004 Smartcard Security

My article on RFID Security from 2006

Here's how to disable RFID in your debit/credit card: http://wvp.diablops.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=1

And some fear mongering from a company that sells 'protection':

The comments for these articles are full of misinformation, CVV is NOT REQUIRED by any CC processor it however makes the transaction fees cheaper. Same with a lot of the customer information (zip code, etc). 

So the processor takes a bigger percentage when a thief is stealing your money, I'm sure they don't care.
