Right as soon as you watch this video, go get some pliers or a vise grip and find the little bump on your paypass credit cards. Smoosh it with the pliers or vise grip and test it next time you are at a place where they have remote Paypass RFID readers. Testing is important so that you know the vulnerable RFID tag is smooshed like a bug and you won’t be vulnerable to someone swiping the info off your credit card remotely.

Step 3: Finish the cutting job Ensure that the signature, magnetic strip, and CVV number — the three-digit code on the back — have all been cut into small pieces. Tip: Feed your credit card through a shredder with a cross-cutting function. Step 4: Destroy the chip Destroy the credit card chip by cutting it up or smashing it with a hammer.
