Stealth Technologies (STTH) Products Highly Effective against RFID Skimming, Personal Data Theft
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is on the rise, having multiple applications in various industries ranging from healthcare and storage to transport, animal and human identification, as well as for RFID-empowered credit cards. The technology allows for a much simpler card payment process by enabling the user to simply brush his or her card against a special RFID reader to process a payment, but it has also given rise to serious privacy concerns and fears that personal information is easier to steal by anyone with the right type of RFID reading equipment. As a consequence, tighter security requirements were enforced for manufacturers of RFID tag technology, while special equipment emerged, designed to shield against RFID skimming and hackers.
A leading provider of personal security production and data protection technology, Florida-based Stealth Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: STTH), comes to the aid of all owners of RFID-enabled cards with proprietary technology specifically created to protect the consumer’s data from any theft attempts or other compromising events. The company’s flagship product, the Stealth Card, can actively protect users’ RFID cards in their wallets by creating an electromagnetic force field that blocks any scan attempts and deflects the scans back to their source. Inspired by military technology employed to shield stealth aircraft from radar, the Stealth Card uses a proprietary PowerGrid Technology that blocks any inbound or outbound frequencies and effectively makes a card’s RFID chip invisible to theft threats.
At only 0.007” thick, the Stealth Card easily fits in the wallet and can protect up to 12 RFID cards simultaneously, as confirmed during tests run by The Center for Applied Research and Technology, an independent testing laboratory. The product does not require batteries or charging and works perfectly with cellphones, magnetic strips or Bluetooth technology without interference.
Encouraged by the success of the Stealth Card and facing a growing demand for RFID skimming blocking solutions on a market that’s expected to surpass $21 billion by 2020, Stealth Technologies has developed two other products designed to help protect users’ personal information: 911 Help Now and Stealth Mobile.
Rolled out in July of this year, the 911 Help Now device offers direct voice communication with emergency services with the simple push of a button. A compact, waterproof design powered by standard AAA batteries, the device works as a 24-hour emergency system that can be carried around anywhere, offering the user peace of mind in any and all environments.
Stealth Mobile has yet to be launched after having successfully passed the final testing phase of development at the end of September, according to company CEO Brian McFadden. The product is designed to protect the Near Field Communication (NFC) chip and any personal and financial information stored on the user’s cell phone. It can be easily attached to the back of the phone and will protect the user’s data by blocking any theft attempts via the NFC system.
In another effort to combat identity theft, the company recently launched a dedicated website, www.StealthIdentityTheft.com, which offers visitors access to ‘Data Secure,’ a unique personal identity theft protection and recovery service designed and used by law enforcement. The service uses a two-step prevention method: the Redaction/Privacy process that removes personal data from the Internet, and the Recovery Protection process that involves recovery specialists working to restore a stolen identity.
