Zero Fraud Liability

Vanessa here, with AllClear ID. “Smart Cards,” credit cards embedded with RFID chips, are getting more attention as more banks issue them to their customers.

What is RFID – and why is it in my credit card? An RFID credit card has a radio frequency microprocessor inside it that contains your card information. When you check out at the register, you wave your smart card within a few inches of an RFID-enabled terminal. The terminal reads your data, transmitted via radio waves, and completes your purchase. This is the technology used at unmanned tollbooths that let you drive right through.

But unbeknownst to you, you may have one of these cards without even knowing it. RFID cards look like your standard credit card, and some even have the magnetic stripe on the back of the card so that you can also swipe it to pay.

Do RFID credit cards put you at risk for identity theft or fraud? Bo Ho

The hacker collective known as Anonymous has expressed interest in hacking industrial systems that control critical infrastructures, such as gas and oil pipelines, chemical plants and water and sewage treatment facilities, according to a Department of Homeland Security bulletin.

But DHS doubts the anarchic group has the necessary skills. At least for now.

Anonymous efforts to attack such systems could be thwarted by the lack of centralized leadership in the loosely collected group, the bulletin says, as well as a lack of “specific expertise” about how the systems work and how to attack them. However, the report notes, the latter could easily be overcome through study of publicly available information.

“The information available on Anonymous suggests they currently have a limited ability to conduct attacks targeting [industrial control systems],” according to DHS. “Howeve

The traditional ways of saving money aren’t enough anymore.

Over the past few years, it’s more than likely that your portfolio took a huge hit… your house lost value… and all the dollars you have tucked away for a rainy day lost value with each passing day.

Whether you realize it or not, you’re getting burned.

It’s time to look at investing in a completely new way.

The old asset allocation models your stockbroker once promised would never lose money (How did that work out for you, by the way?) are the way of the past. The “growth stocks” aren’t growing. The “value stocks” have lost their value.

You need a new plan. And we have it for you.

Here at Money Map Press, we use a 50-40-10 model that guarantees real growth from a solid base of investments and reduces your exposure to risk. Read more…

Police have made one of the biggest identity theft bust of its kind in U.S. history.  The crimes resulted in a $13 million dollar crime ring specializing mainly in selling Apple electronics overseas.

Authorities said “Operation Swiper” indicted 111 people from five criminal enterprises in Queens, New York.

“The schemes and the imagination of these thieves is mind boggling,” said New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly at a press conference.

“These crimes are getting more sophisticated and thieves have amazing knowledge of how to use technology,” Kelly said.

The crime rings ran nationwide shopping sprees in which “crew leaders” oversaw “shoppers” and thieves conducted their business from five-star hotels, renting luxury cars and private jets.

Bosses of each crime ring received blank credit cards from suppliers in Russia, Libya, Lebanon and China.

The bosses then hired “skimmers” who posed for jobs such as waiters and retail shop workers so they could use electronic devices to steal information from customer credit cards. That information was then
