You should have an RFID blocking wallet regardless of this tech existing.

Been hearing this for fifteen years now, it is just so niche a threat that people shouldnt have those horrible wallets in reality.

The stalker info is coming from all the devices and the rfid blocking wallet is blocking reading of cards.

What makes them horrible? I like my no-profile wallet. I don't want cards being readable through them. That's the point

More power to you, I think they are fairly silly given the risk. Its like wearing velcro shoes to stop people who intentionally step on your laces..

I am sure there are nice ones, I'd use one if I found a nice one but only because I like it not because of its features.
