How to hack RFID-enabled Credit Cards for $8 (BBtv)Jan 26, 2012
A number of credit card companies now issue credit cards with embedded RFIDs (radio frequency ID tags), with promises of enhanced security and speedy transactions. But on today's episode of Boing Boing tv, hacker and inventor Pablos Holman shows Xeni how you can use about $8 worth of gear bought on eBay to read personal data from those credit cards -- cardholder name, credit card number, and whatever else your bank embeds in this manner. Fears over data leaks from RFID-enabled cards aren't new, and some argue they're overblown -- but this demo shows just how cheap and easy the "sniffing" can be.

PBS Frontline Secret History of the Credit CardJan 27, 2012
In "Secret History of the Credit Card," FRONTLINE® and The New York Times join forces to investigate an industry few Americans fully understand. In this one-hour report, correspondent Lowell Bergman uncovers the techniques used by the industry to earn record profits and get consumers to take on more debt. "The almost magical convenience of plastic money is critical to our famously compulsive consumer economy," Bergman says. "With more than 641 million credit cards in circulation and accounting for an estimated $1.5 trillion of consumer spending, the US economy has clearly gone plastic." Millions of American families use their personal, general-purpose credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover to make ends meet; credit cards have been a discreet lifeline for families in financial straits. But other consumers, like actor and author Ben Stein, use plastic purely for convenience. While it would appear that Stein -- who says he charges a small fortune every month on his credit cards -- is the ideal customer, in reality, he is what some in the industry call a "deadbeat." That's because he pays his balance in full every month. The industry's most profitable customers, the ones being sought by creative marketing tactics, are the "revolvers:" the estimated 115 million Americans who carry monthly credit card debt. Ed Yingling, incoming president of the American Bankers Association, tells FRONTLINE that revolvers are "the sweet spot" of the banking ...
The Credit Card Song by Old Man PieJan 23, 2012
Ahead of its time this is a cartoon animation that's been up on the web since 2006 and is all about the credit crunch crisis. Credit card spending and loans from banks are in their trillions of dollars and something has to give. We no longer spend what we have earned, we spend what we havn't earned on the back of house price rises and yet more loans. The banks are prospering and fat cats are awarding themselves massive bonuses, but it cannot continue. Beware the debt time bomb may bring the walls of the western world clattering to the ground. Song arranged and performed by Old Man Pie, with animation by Stuart (formerly of The Pie). Song written by Kyle Christie and (c) Kyle Christie 2006. Credit crunch credit crunch credit crunch!
Credit Card With EInk Display Keep You Safe While Online ShoppingJan 27, 2012
ePaper www.netbooknews.com Think that ePaper is for eReaders only? EInk wants you to think otherwise with a display that they've put together showing several other applications that ePaper would be great for. This transition towards other uses is a necessary step since the price of eReaders is slowly edging toward that of tablets. If eReaders want to remain competitive they're going to have to drop in price or change thier model to being free with content subscription. I'm not saying that they will be replaced by tablets but only that if they want to maintain sales they are going to have to look at alternative uses. We get to see a few idea's on the emerging direction of ePaper in the video below. You'll see display's in credit cards so when you're doing some online shopping you're transactions and identity will be secure or a mifi display so you're not stealing power from your connectivity to check settings. This is just the tip of the ice berg, the biggest potential for ePaper I feel is going to be in digital signage, think of all of the retail outlets that change prices constantly. It not a market many people think of but I think it will play a huge role in the future of ePaper. What we have below is one of the more compelling uses of ePaper, it not going to be as high volume as digital signage, but it a great use case for ePaper in credit cards. Still not convinced? Think of those people who travel alot or purchase frequently online. The red flags alone cause a series ...
