just inspected mine... nothing obvious, so I hope I don't have it. I WILL ask when my CC company renews my card this month! I certainly don't want or need this!
But a quick fix would be to wrap aluminum foil around the card with the chip. Glad I watched that part. But be careful the strip doesn't get scratched.

I have seen this before. A guy could stand next to you with that reader and get all your information.
They have cases available now that won't allow the signal to be read while inside it.
One of the few cc's I own have that signal, meaning I am vulnerable.
