See the Science with VoidScan’s transparent design to protect your payment cards from data thieves.

Story

Introducing VoidScan

With the same size as any standard credit card or debit card, VoidScan is a convenient RFID protector. All you do is slip it into your wallet, and it will scramble electromagnetic waves to keep your data safe from high-tech thieves. Unlike RFID wallets or RFID sleeves, VoidScan fits right inside the wallet you already own. This is the simplest, most affordable RFID blocking option there is.

What does VoidScan do?

   

VoidScan blocks unauthorized scanners from stealing your information

See the Science!

Because of its transparent design, VoidScan makes it possible for you to see how everything inside it works: utilizing a skeletal transparent design, you are able to see the RFID microchip, transmitter wire, and antenna that jams incoming signals. A node where technology and art meet, VoidScan puts science on full display for you. We hope that our device piques people’s interest in how the technology works!

Why do I need VoidScan?

Our lives are becoming easier as contactless card payments become even more popular, but the risk of theft is growing. RFID technology is the solution you need to prevent thieves from accessing your credit or debit card using scanning devices that anyone can buy online. RFID combined with Near Field Communication (NFC) jamming technology, is the defense strategy that we have built into VoidScan in order to keep you safe from identity theft and data skimming once and for all!

How do you use VoidScan?

Place the VoidScan card in the middle of your wallet to protect all RFID-enabled cards in wallets up to 4cm (1.6in) thick!  Contactless payment can still be used as normal – just ensure VoidScan is held at least 16cm away when making tap payments.

Protects Wallets up to 4cm thick!

Why Choose VoidScan?

What does VoidScan Protect Against:

Operating at the 13.56MHz frequency, VoidScan protects all your credit cards, debit cards, driver’s licenses, and passports.  VoidScan uses variable power jamming to automatically detect and interrupt any RFID/NFC reader and protect your data. VoidScan will not jam signals from office key cards or apartment tags, which typically operate at the 125 kHz frequency, so you can still conveniently access your building without removing VoidScan from your wallet.

What is RFID Theft and Why Is It Dangerous?

Contactless Payments Are Everywhere

What is RFID?

RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification, which is the technology that allows you to make contactless payments. It is convenient because it requires no pin or signature, however by using a modern scanning device, anyone can scan RFID chips from as far as 20 feet away, putting your personal information at risk.

How does RFID technology work?

RFID tech uses a small chip and an antenna to relay information from credit and debit cards to contactless scanners, serving the same purpose as a barcode or magnetic strip on the back of a card. Contactless payment cards are convenient as they don’t need to be in direct contact with the scanner to work and don’t require a PIN or signature. However, the long-range nature of the technology enables an RFID chip to be read from up to 20 feet away with a high-powered skimming device – compromising personal data.

Where is RFID used?

Most of your credit cards, debit cards, passports, and driver’s licenses use RFID at this point. In addition, most RFID enabled credit or debit cards will carry the following sign:
