RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology has made life simpler and more convenient in many ways, with contact-free payments and encoding personal information digitally into your passport. On the flipside, with any exciting new bit of technology unfortunately comes an opportunity for bad faith attempts to exploit it.
