Hackers have become extremely efficient at committing identity theft because it is so lucrative for them. Alex Gonzalez, a self proclaimed hacker out of South Florida, once complained to his friends that he had to count over $300,000 in cash because his cash counting machine broke one day - poor guy! They also brag about the best places for Crowd Hacking so I've broken down a list of Top 10 Hacker Hotspots. Make sure your information is protected if you find yourself near any of these locations!
- Malls (especially during the holidays)

Just received a phone call from bank, letting me know that there were 4 large fraudulent purchases on my account. Which is a great way to start the week. To help prevent this from happening I purchased one of your cards. I remembered seeing your company on The Shark Tank and I was impressed with how well it worked. I can’t wait to get your card in my wallet.
Thank you for inventing this.
Sincerely,
A girl tired of getting new bank cards
My credit card info was stolen couple months ago- likely at the grocery store for me. The thief ended up spending 350 at Home Depot, and tried to spend another 300+ at a giant. It was a pain. I had my credit card with me the whole time. I’m looking into different options to protect my cards – Sleeves, wallets, or the signal vault.
