Detecting an attempted theft of information stored in an rfid-enabled card

An apparatus for detecting an attempted theft of information stored in a Radio Frequency Identification(‘RFID’)-enabled card, the apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:

• receiving, by a theft detection module, a transaction request, the transaction request including RFID-enabled card information;
• determining, by the theft detection module, that the RFID-enabled card information is mock card information, wherein mock card information is provided to an RFID reader by an RFID tag exterior to an RFID shield of an RFID-enabled card security enclosure responsive to an RFID request directed at the security enclosure;
• and
• responsive to determining that the RFID-enabled card information is mock card information, initiating, by the theft detection module, one or more security actions.
