"Without the DataSafe shielding technology your information is accessible to any hacker," added Masterson.
The researchers claim that nearly 20+ million radio-frequency identification (RFID) credit cards in circulation could be vulnerable to skimming attacks, which could harvest names and credit-card details from the cards of passersby.
A skimming attack uses a normal reader, or one that has been enhanced to read cards from a greater distance, to grab unencrypted data from the card.
"Without even removing their cards from wallets or pockets, consumers can potentially see their privacy and security compromised," Ari Juels, an author of the University of Massachusetts' paper and researcher at RSA Labs, stated in a blog post. "A scanner in a crowded subway station might surreptitiously harvest credit-card data from passersby."
The new DataSafe Collection will retail between $50 and $200. The Collection will be available in fine Italian leathers and rugged ballistic nylons.
