An interesting article posted here: http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/06/03/27/ladylib.htm An exerpt: It seems that some people -- in fact, most people -- will give up all sorts of things if they think they're getting something desirable in return. Lately, the thing we all seem to be giving up the most of is privacy. We think we're exchanging it for cost savings or security, or for some other thing that makes sense to us at the time. What too many don't seem to realize is that we're all too often being shortchanged.

I urge everyone to do so, opt out!! Call Charter One and tell them you want to opt out of the PayPass feature. They'll mail you a new ATM card and in theory (I'll verify when I get mine) no RFID. I'm actually quite stunned that they do this. Try to get a card without the 'MegaRewards' logo, even if you're not enrolled... I suspect this is a good indicator that the technology isn't as secure as they say. The customer service rep I talked to didn't even ask why. |

I just got a new ATM card from Charter One Bank, lo and behold.. they've implanted a free money for criminals device into the card.
For those not familier with PayPass, it's an RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chip that communicates with a reader in order to charge things to your account. That sounds fine and dandy, and if you believe what Mastercard tells you, it's safe.. but read more.. |

So you just got your new CharterOne insecure tracking device enabled, super hackable.. ATM card and would like to have some peace of mind.
Well, go no further.. all you have to do is disable the RFID chip and nobody will be able to snoop around without you knowing.

I guess it's to be expected, large scale outages covering quite a few
cities in northeast ohio doesn't rate the news apparantly...
Probably because Time Warner is a big advertiser in likely all the
media.
