Have You Been E-Pickpocketed - Without Even Knowing it?
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It can happen anywhere. In an urban shopping center like the Jacksonville Landing or a sporting event like a baseball game.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing? " ask one cardholder.
Bad - it can happen right under your nose.
New technology used in smart cards, speed passes and newly issued passports make it easier for a pickpocket to steal your card information.
It is called electronic pick pocketing. Walt Augustinowicz, a former insurance executive, has the ability to walk through a crowd and pickpocket credit card information.
"The biggest vulnerability is the fact that they don't know," said Augustinowicz.
