Identity Stronghold recognized the need for privacy protection for RFID chipped items and created a new industry in RFID shielding protection in the early 2000’s. However until recently, the press and major credit card companies have been slow to recognize the privacy dangers associated with RFID chips that have been used in commercial and private sectors. RFID chips are embedded in credit cards, debit cards, passports, drivers' licenses, healthcare cards, ID cards, and transportation cards including most subway fare cards. We are happy to see the public at large being made aware of the need for protection. We have been featured on Fox News, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, Inside Edition, Discovery Channel, and countless local news stations educating the public on how easy it is to scan valuable information from people’s cards without even touching their cards. This crime has even garnered itself a new name. The crime is now often called electronic pickpocketing or e-pickpocketing for short. Identity Stronghold is the leading provider of RFID secure sleeves and badge holders to the U.S. government.
