TRAVEL TIPS: ATM CASH MACHINE WARNING!!

A Warning About Using ATM Cash Machines!

The use of ATM machines to get instant cash is widespread throughout the world. Despite their popularity there are many downsides to their usage. There are many precautions that travelers should take when using these machines.

So, it’s probably a good time to remind people while they’re traveling on how to avoid being scammed/skimmed when using ATMs!

Here are our suggested Guidelines for Using ATM’s at home or abroad.

Guidelines for Using an ATM:

1. Don’t use stand-alone ATMs. Only Use an ATM in a bank with a 24 hour security system & during business hours if possible.
2. Make sure no-one is hanging around nearby using a hand-held machine.
3. Make sure no-one is looking over your shoulder, as this is a common trick of stealing your PIN.

Card Slot:

1. Check card slot has not been tampered with.
2. Check the card slot for a skimmer device that records the account data.
3. If the card slot feels loose, do not use the machine.

Pin Pad:

1. Check the pin pad has not been tampered with.
2. Cover the keypad with your hand, or other object. This will stop a hidden camera from recording your PIN to access your account.

There are three things you should receive before you leave the ATM booth:

1. Card
a) .Remove card asap, in case machine retains card.
Some ATMs return your card last & sometimes very slowly, so don’t leave it behind. Many people have!
2. Cash – Check amount
3. Receipt – Check amount
Count out those three items, before you leave the booth.

Do Not Be Rushed

Do not be distracted & do not be rushed, doing these 3 processes. This is a very important process
Put your card, cash & receipt away in a safe wallet, money belt or neck wallet, before you leave the booth.
Keep all transaction receipts. Bank accounts can be stripped after you return home when you are not expecting it.

Tourists are particularly vulnerable to local scams. Because they’re unaware of what’s happening around them. Find out how to protect yourself in these situations. The answer is really simple! Go here to find out how!

Transactions:

If the ATM displays, “this transaction cannot be processed” do not try again on that machine.
If you continue, you will not receive money, but it will be deducted from your account.
When you have free WiFi, check your account.

Contact your Bank:

Don’t forget to advise your bank of your travel dates, so your card won’t be blocked & attempted fraud can be picked up quickly.

You may need to change your password, if your account is compromised.
If your account is compromised, you have 60 days to lodge your appeal.
You can ask your bank to send you a SMS message every time there is a transaction on your account.

Protection:

Check your bank accounts regularly. If you notice anything suspicious, contact your bank immediately.
Have one account which you keep a small amount of money & only use this account to withdraw money from ATMs. Have another account where you keep the bulk of your funds. Transfer money from that account to your ‘ATM account’ when your ATM account needs topping up. Never make an ATM withdrawal from this account.
This process may be a bit inconvenient, but it is an easy way to protect yourself.

Scams:

A wireless router/scanner & small camera can be embedded in the ATM. The router can record data from the ATM card’s embedded micro-chip, while the camera can see customers’ valuable PIN numbers.

Electronic Pick-Pocketing:

Electronic pick-pocketing is now commonplace in most countries. It’s so easy for a thief to use an inexpensive handheld scanner/reader device that can read your credit card (or other cards embedded with a micro-chip) to steal your card data and/or your identity!

To protect yourself from electronic pick-pocketing we recommend that you use an RFID Wallet with RF Blocking Technology. The special RFID Blocking material will stop electronic pickpockets from stealing your embedded micro-chip data on your credit cards and other identity cards.

Are there any RFID Privacy Concerns?

Yes,  there are Concerns about RFID Privacy!

Unsurprisingly, there are many privacy concerns surrounding RFID technologies. These concerns are particularly so when it comes to personal issues relating to the use of passports, smart cards and the advent of the contactless smart card.

Passports

In an effort to make passports more secure, many countries have implemented RFID (biometric microchips) into their passports. However, the encryption on the microchips has been broken. Leaving the biometric passport open to attack from potential criminals intent on stealing your personal information and identity.

There is also the concern that passport data can be scanned while the passport is being mailed to its owner. Where a criminal needed to secretly open and then reseal the envelope, now it can be done without detection, adding some degree of insecurity to the passport system.

Additionally, the RFID passports can be scanned by anyone with an RFID reader from as far away as several hundred feet. This can be a real security risk!

Smart Cards (Credit Cards etc…)

The most popular smart card today is the Credit/Debit Card with an imbedded microchip. Smart cards can provide identification, authentication, data storage and application processing. Smart cards may provide strong security authentication for single sign-on (SSO) within large organizations. These contact smart cards need to be inserted into a card reader to communicate and process transactions.

EMV (Europay MasterCard Visa) compliant cards and equipment are widespread and only since 2014 have been accepted into the United States. MasterCard was the first company that has been allowed to use the technology in the United States. In addition, Chase Bank has also received a contract to use the technology on some of their newer credit card plans.

The United States has felt pushed to use the technology because of the increase in identity theft. The credit card information stolen from Target in late 2013 was one of the largest indicators that its American credit card information was not safe. Target made the decision in April 2014 that they would implement the smart card microchip technology in order to protect themselves from future credit card identity theft.

Contactless Smart Cards

A second type of smart card is the contactless smart card. This type of smart card communicates with and is powered by the reader through RF induction technology (at data rates of 106–848 kbit/s). These cards require only proximity to an antenna to communicate.

igogeer.com - contactless cards

Like contact smart cards, contactless cards do not have an internal power source. Instead, they use an inductor to capture some of the incident radio-frequency interrogation signal, rectify it, and use it to power the card’s electronics.

Smart cards have been advertised as suitable for personal identification tasks, because they are engineered to be tamper resistant. The chip usually implements some cryptographic algorithm. There are, however, several methods for recovering some of the algorithm’s internal state.

Thank You

That is the end of our series of articles that we trust have helped you understand what RFID is all about and the possible implications for you when using your credit/debit cards, passport or any other identity cards.

We always recommend that you stay protected at all times. Carry your passport, credit/debit cards and other identity cards in a secure RFID blocking wallet. They provide peace of mind for a very small investment.

What is RFID Skimming?

So, What is RFID Skimming?

RFID Skimming is the simple process of someone reading and copying the data contained on your bank or credit cards with an RFID reader or scanner. It is a quick and simple process that can be over and done within a matter of seconds without you having any knowledge it is happening.

How Can You Protect Yourself from RFID Skimming?

By now you’ve probably become quite paranoid about the safety of your numerous smart cards that you carry around with you every day – unprotected.

The Good News however is that there is a lot that you can do to protect yourself from RFID theft by the skimming of your smart card information and your identity.

The most effective way to protect you is to create a magnetic Faraday Cage. A Faraday Cage is a specifically designed magnetic mesh-like metal holder (cage) that essentially filters out certain electromagnetic frequencies and siphons them off to the ground. However, this is impractical when you’re out shopping or at the theater, or while your traveling on your vacation.

In short, nothing will work 100% to eliminate the possibility of your RFID cards being scanned. The safest way to protect you is to purchase a good quality RFID Blocking money belt, waist bag or wallet. These items are specifically designed and constructed to stop 99% of RFID readers scanning the smart card chips in your credit cards, passports and other identity cards.

The fabrics used in these RFID blocking money belts, waist bags and wallets is a knitted or woven material containing copper, silver or stainless steel fibers. These fibers are designed to block the incoming RF frequencies from reaching the smart card chips imbedded in the credit cards, passports and identity cards.

igogeer.com - rfid wallet

RFID Blocking Technology is not Cheap

RFID blocking fabric technology is not cheap. The manufacture of these fabrics is a very expensive process. Many of these fabrics combine microscopic particles of the copper, silver or stainless steel knitted or woven in specific patterns. These patterns create an impenetrable barrier against the intrusion of RF frequencies. They help to keep your valuable smart cards, passports and other identity cards information, safe from potential theft and loss of your personal identity.

One in Four Americans will Experience Identity Theft

It has recently been reported that one in four Americans will experience identity theft in their lifetime. This clearly indicates that with the advent of RFID technologies, although they deliver enormous benefits, have also created significant risks for its users.

If you are one of the many who want the best protection against intrusive RF frequencies reaching your smart cards, then you should check out the range of RFID Blocking products available from IGOGEER™.

You will be surprised by the range of products that contain RFID Blocking materials to help protect you from potential identity theft.

What Can You Do About Radio Frequency Tracking?

There are Many Things You can do About Radio Frequency Tracking

The most important thing to remember is that RFID technology is an amazing aid to business and consumers alike. It has made our lives so much easier in so many ways that it’s hard to imagine life without them. Having said that, it has without doubt, created some considerable risks to our privacy and safety.

Because of this risk, you need to be vigilant about the use and availability of RFID devices and other RFID items in your life. You need to know what you are carrying or using that is embedded with radio frequency identification information about you, is key to being able to protect that data and manage your personal security.

If you are concerned about possibility of theft, you may wish to limit the amount of RFID technology that you have in your life. However, you need to be aware that you may be presented with situations that are moving towards the use of RFID technologies (bridge and road tolls, or passports) and that you may not be able to avoid them entirely without making major changes to your behavior or giving up personal freedoms.

Protecting Passports

You can adopt methods to manage and control the RFID devices that are in your life. Protect passports when you are traveling. Keep the bridge toll fast pass in a shielding pouch in the glove box of the car when it’s not in use. Reduce the number of credit cards you have and shield the one’s you keep with you in an appropriately shielded wallet or purse.

Then, if you want to go “all out” there are a couple of technologies you can consider. You can get an RFID shielding paint that will block cell phone and other signals. It’s pricey but if you want a quiet family dinner without anyone’s cell phone interrupting, it’s a thought for when you redo the dining room decor. There is also a Wi-Fi/signal-blocking wallpaper that has been developed which can work to contain or block electromagnetic signals. This may seem to be an over reaction, but it demonstrates that there are ways to protect yourself from being tracked by RFID devices.

How to Secure and Protect an RFID Enabled Passport?

Many countries including the US, Canada, UK, Australia and the European Union now issue biometric passports that contain an RFID chip.

While this technology can help authenticate passports, reduce counterfeiting and speed up immigration clearance processing, it’s also made it possible for electronic thieves to ‘skim’ the information from your passport by scanning it using a simple RFID reader.

One simple way to stop your passport from being scanned without your knowledge is to be aware of your surroundings when opening your passport. While that isn’t always possible, especially in extremely busy and crowded places, don’t leave your passport exposed for any longer than you need to. Crowded places are the perfect cover for unscrupulous data thieves.

RFID Blocking Materials

Another way to keep your biometric passport secure is to store it in a passport wallet with RFID blocking materials. These RFID blocking materials are specially manufactured fabrics made from fine fibers of aluminum, copper, silver, stainless steel and other such conductive materials. Continue reading for more information about the availability of products containing these conductive materials.

Should I be Concerned About My Privacy from RFID?

Yes, You Should be Concerned About Your Privacy from RFID Devices!

As more and more forms of personal identity and credit cards become enabled with radio frequency identification chips, it’s becoming easier to not only access our own data but also to have that data stolen by data thieves.

It may be extremely convenient to simply swipe or wave a card to do your business. But how do you feel about someone being able to get all your information just as quickly and quietly, without you ever knowing about it?

Imagine the situation where someone can simply walk past you and within a few seconds have copied all the information stored on your personal identity cards, passport, bank cards and credit cards? How would you feel about a total stranger (or the government) being able to follow you down the street and see where you go and what you do all day? Just Like Big Brother!

Those are the darker and less convenient concepts that arise from the application of RFID to everyday consumer items. On the positive side, it makes for ease of transactions and enables a lot of information to be stored in the smallest of spaces. On the negative side, it’s broadcasting that information out to anyone who has the means to read it. Good or bad!

RFID Controversy

The use of RFID has engendered considerable controversy and even product boycotts by consumer privacy advocates

The two main privacy concerns regarding RFID are:
• Since the owner of an item will not necessarily be aware of the presence of an RFID tag and the tag can be read at a distance without the knowledge of the individual, it becomes possible to gather sensitive data about an individual without consent.
• If a tagged item is paid for by credit card or in conjunction with use of a loyalty card, then it would be possible to indirectly deduce the identity of the purchaser by reading the globally unique ID of that item (contained in the RFID tag). This is only true if the person doing the watching also had access to the loyalty card data and the credit card data, and the person with the equipment knows where you are going to be.

igogeer.com - rfid product tag

Most concerns revolve around the fact that RFID tags (microchips) affixed to products remain functional even after the products have been purchased and taken home and thus can be used for surveillance and other purposes unrelated to their supply chain inventory functions.

The concerns may be addressed in part by use of the ‘Clipped Tag’. The Clipped Tag is an RFID tag designed to increase consumer privacy. After the point of sale, a consumer may tear off a portion of the tag. This would be beneficial for consumer goods like clothing, household goods, etc…but does not provide protection for the credit or debit card used to purchase the goods.

However, the ‘Clipped Tag, does allow the transformation of a long-range tag into a proximity tag that still may be read, but only at short range – less than a few inches. The modification of the tag may be confirmed visually. The tag may still be used later for returns, recalls, or recycling.

How can I Shield my RFID Devices?

RFID Devices can be Shielded from Skimming

The U.S. Government has acknowledged the many operational concerns over the biometric passport and the smart cards. In an effort to prevent the passive “skimming” of RFID-enabled cards or passports, the U.S. Government’s General Services Administration (GSA) issued a set of test procedures for evaluating electromagnetically opaque sleeves. Electromagnetic opaque sleeves are devices that contain special materials (aluminum, etc…) to prevent the microchip in the passport or smart card from being read.

Shielding products must meet or exceed published standards. The United States government requires that when new ID cards are issued, they must be delivered with an approved shielding sleeve or holder.

igogeer.com - rfid shielding

Shielding Controversy

There are many contradicting opinions as to whether aluminum can prevent reading of RFID microchips. Some claim that aluminum shielding, essentially creating a Faraday cage, does work. Others claim that simply wrapping an RFID card in aluminum foil only makes transmission more difficult and is not completely effective at preventing it.

A Faraday cage is essentially a grounded metal cage that protects the microchip in the passport or smart card. The theory is that the Faraday cage will absorb the RF (Radio Frequency) microwaves coming from the RFID scanner/reading device. The effectiveness of the shield all depends on the frequency being used to the read the microchip.

Shielding Effectiveness

Shielding effectiveness depends on the frequency being used.

Low-frequency LowFID tags, like those used in implantable devices for humans and pets, are relatively resistant to shielding though thick metal foil will prevent most reads.

High frequency HighFID tags (13.56 MHz—smart cards and access badges) are sensitive to shielding and are difficult to read when within a few centimeters of a metal surface.

UHF Ultra-HighFID tags (pallets and cartons) are difficult to read when placed within a few millimeters of a metal surface, although their read range is actually increased when they are spaced 2–4 cm (1 – 2 inch) from a metal surface due to positive reinforcement of the reflected wave and the incident wave at the tag (microchip).

Improved methods of RFID shielding are now available with the development of an array of copper, silver, and stainless steel based woven fabrics. Uses of these fabrics range from window screens, bed canopies to clothing and other garments, all designed to shield you from RF frequencies that may affect your health or what you are carrying on you.

Is Your Smart Card Safe?

Is Your Smart Card Vulnerable to Skimming?

Like every new technology that comes along with good intentions to keep us and our information safer. There are legions of people out there willing to show us that it isn’t always safe. Really though, what is 100% safe? Nothing! We just have to have an acceptable level of security and, for all intents and purposes.

RFID chips in our smart cards are reasonably secure. Yet, they can still be surreptitiously read, decoded, and used in crimes against you!

You may have seen videos of people using card readers bought online to brush up against a purse or wallet, or from a safe distance, thus harvesting the information from the RFID chip inside. The person then takes that harvested information and decrypts information to literally make copies of your bank debit or credit cards. At which point the Rolex shopping spree begins and you get stuck with the tab. This is RFID card skimming at work.

igogeer.com - rfid skimming

RFID Card Skimming

RFID Skimming is a form of digital theft, which enables information from RFID based smart cards to be read and duplicated.

It can be used as a form of wireless identity theft or credit card theft among other forms of information theft. Typically it works by illegitimate reading of RFID microchips at a distance using a cheap RFID reader device, which downloads the card information. From there, it can be written to a new blank card, which then operates in the same manner as the original legitimate card. Because the data is identical on both cards, and the information is only copied, it makes no difference if the original data is encrypted or not.

RFID skimming has been demonstrated as far back as 2008 to be a personal security risk and as recently as 2014. However levels of theft are difficult to determine, as victims typically do not know how their card data was compromised!

While there are currently over 100 million RFID-enhanced credit and debit cards and passports, it is important to insure the safety of your personal information and financial resources. You have to be proactive in protecting yourself.

In our next article we will discuss how users of biometric passports and smart cards can protect themselves against the many potential threats to RFID devices.

Is the Biometric Passport Safe?

Are you concerned about the Security of your Biometric Passport?

Although most governments claim that their biometric encoded passports are safe from attack. However, many such attacks have been documented over the years since the introduction of the biometric chip passport. This is a real concern to Passport Holders!

Why are Biometric Microchips Used in Passports?

The RFID biometric microchip provides an additional way to verify and authenticate a passport and the information it contains. It can help expedite the processing of passport holders entry and exit applications at immigration and customs offices at airports. It also helps to make passports more difficult to counterfeit.

igogeer.com - passport with chip

To illustrate some of the concerns about the Biometric Passport we are presenting a few reported examples.

Since the introduction of biometric passports several attacks have been presented and we demonstrated them here:

Non-traceable chip characteristics. In 2008 a Radboud/Lausitz University team demonstrated that it’s possible to determine which country a passport chip is from without knowing the key required for reading it. The team fingerprinted error messages of passport chips from different countries. The resulting lookup table allows an attacker to determine from where a chip originated. In 2010 Tom Chothia and Vitaliy Smirnov documented an attack that allows an individual passport to be traced, by sending specific BAC authentication requests.

Passive Authentication (PA). In 2006 Lukas Grunwald demonstrated that it is trivial to copy passport data from a passport chip into a standard ISO/IEC 14443 smartcard using a standard contactless card interface and a simple file transfer tool. Grunwald used a passport that did not use Active Authentication (anti-cloning) and did not change the data held on the copied chip, thus keeping its cryptographic signature valid.

In 2008 Jeroen van Beek demonstrated that not all passport inspection systems check the cryptographic signature of a passport chip. For his demonstration Van Beek altered chip information and signed it using his own document signing key of a non-existing country. This can only be detected by checking the country signing keys that are used to sign the document signing keys. To check country signing keys the ICAO PKD can be used. Only 5 out of 60+ countries are using this central database. Van Beek did not update the original passport chip: instead an ePassport emulator was used.

Also in 2008, The Hacker’s Choice implemented all attacks and published code to verify the results. The release included a video clip that demonstrated problems by using a forged Elvis Presley passport that is recognized as a valid US passport.

Active Authentication (AA). In 2005 Marc Witteman showed that the secret Active Authentication key can be retrieved using power analysis. This may allow an attacker to clone passport chips that use the optional Active Authentication anti-cloning mechanism on chips – if the chip design is susceptible to this attack. In 2008 Jeroen van Beek demonstrated that optional security mechanisms can be disabled by removing their presence from the passport index file. This allows an attacker to remove – amongst others – anti-cloning mechanisms (Active Authentication). The attack is documented in supplement 7 of Doc 9303 (R1-p1_v2_sIV_0006) and can be solved by patching inspection system software. Note that supplement 7 features vulnerable examples in the same document that – when implemented – result in a vulnerable inspection process.

As these cases demonstrate biometric passport technology is not infallible and all users must take extreme care when using their personal passport.

What is a Biometric Passport?

The Biometric Passport

The biometric passport is also known as an e-passport, ePassport or a digital passport. It is a combined paper and electronic passport that contains biometric information that can be used to authenticate the identity of travelers. It uses contactless smart card technology, including a microprocessor chip (microchip) and antenna (for both power to the chip and communication) embedded in the front or back cover, or center page, of the passport.

Document and chip characteristics are documented in the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Doc 9303. The passport’s critical information is both printed on the data page of the passport and stored in the chip. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is used to authenticate the data stored electronically in the passport chip making it expensive and difficult to forge when all security mechanisms are fully and correctly implemented.

Facial, Fingerprint and Iris Recognition

The standardized biometrics used for this type of identification system is facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and iris recognition. These were adopted after assessment of several different kinds of biometrics including retinal scan.

The ICAO defines the biometric file formats and communication protocols to be used in passports. Only the digital image (usually in JPEG or JPEG2000 format) of each biometric feature is actually stored in the chip. The comparison of biometric features is performed outside the passport chip by electronic border control systems (e-borders). To store biometric data on the contactless chip, it includes a minimum of 32 kilobytes of EEPROM storage memory, and runs on an interface in accordance with the ISO/IEC 14443 international standard, amongst others. These standards intend interoperability between different countries and different manufacturers of passport books.

Some national identity cards (e.g. in the Netherlands, Albania and Brazil) are fully ICAO9303 compliant biometric travel documents. However others, such as the USA passport card, are not.

igogeer.com - the biometric passport

E-Passports – History

First introduced by Malaysia in 1998, the RFID passport (“E-passport”) was issued to identify critical information about the passport holder. In addition to information also contained on the visual data page of the passport, Malaysian e-passports record the travel history (time, date, and place) of entries and exits from the country.

Many countries have now adopted the “E-passport” that insert RFID in passports include: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, European Union countries, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, and the United States just to name a few. For security reasons, most developed nations have now adopted the e-passport.

The U.S. version of the biometric passport has descriptive data and a digitized passport photo on its contactless chips, and does not have fingerprint information placed onto the contactless chip.

A high level of security became a priority for the United States after the attacks of 11 September 2001. High security required cracking down on counterfeit passports. The production stages of this high-tech passport commenced as the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) opened a bidding program in October 2004.

The driving force of the initiative is the U.S. Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002 (also known as the “Border Security Act”), which states that such smartcard Identity cards will be able to replace visas. As for foreigners travelling to the U.S., if they wish to enter U.S. visa-free under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), they are now required to possess machine-readable passports that comply with international standards. Additionally, for travelers holding a valid passport issued on or after 26 October 2006, such a passport must be a biometric passport if used to enter the U.S. visa-free under the VWP.

Scam Alert: Facebook – New Video Scam!

We have discovered a new Facebook scam. Its called ‘malicious tagging’ and is very much on the rise.

Here’s how to protect yourself…

The essence of this new scam is a link on your Facebook page which looks like it leads to a video tagged by about 20 or so of your friends. The trick is that you think that if 20+ friends are recommending the video, it must be OK, right?www.igogeer.com/facebook-logo-like-us

However, when you click on it, another link pops up saying that the video cannot be played until you update your Adobe Flash Player. The problem is if you click on that link, you download malware that gives hackers access to personal data.

Recommended Action:

Update Adobe and any other software only through their respective websites. Never update software from other sites, especially through pop-ups on social networks or unfamiliar Web pages.

Socializing on Facebook can be a fun place.  However, you can sometimes use it to overshare personal information. We don’t believe it is a good idea to overshare any of your personal and private information on any website, especially a Social Media website. So be careful who you share with and what you upload from the net.
