Metal wallets promise to protect your credit cards
– moneysense.ca
Nowadays you can simply tap your credit card on a PayPass or PayWave terminal in a store to make your purchases. You don’t need to insert your card or type in your PIN—great news if you’re in a rush. The problem is thieves equipped with inexpensive portable card readers can siphon credit and debit details without you knowing. Should you invest in a metal wallet ($5 to $70) to block electronic pickpockets from getting your data?
Queen’s University technology professor David Skillicorn says metal wallets aren’t necessary. The cards transmit only partial data—not enough to make large purchases, replicate a card or steal your identity. If you’re concerned, simply wrapping a piece of tinfoil around your card will suffice, Skillicorn says.

Four Russian nationals and a Ukrainian have been charged with running a sophisticated hacking organization that over seven years penetrated computer networks of more than a dozen major American and international corporations, stealing and selling at least 160 million credit and debit card numbers, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions of dollars.
U.S. prosecutors charged six foreign nationals with hacking crimes, including credit and debit card thefts that authorities say cost U.S. and European companies more than $300 million US in losses, and charged one of them with breaching Nasdaq computers.
