Why faraday bags are trending

Did you know people who own keyfobs could have their car stolen in 60 seconds? “Thieves read the radio frequency of the key FOBs in your house and relay that frequency to your car on the driveway, tricking the car into thinking the key FOB is next to, or in, the car. Because of this vulnerability, keyless ignition vehicles are now the prime targets of car thieves,” officials said.

Faraday bags are no longer used by just doomsday preppers. In Brampton Michigan, over 5,800 automobiles were stolen in 2022 causing the mayor to find a solution and suggest giving faraday bags to the public to lower the skyrocketing crime in auto theft.

Faraday bags provide shielding solutions for anti-hacking/antitracking protection for electronic devices. Our faraday bags are designed for data security by blocking signal transmission. For example, criminals have methods to hijack a keyfob signal by boosting it to gain access to a person’s car. This is the leading threat in the automotive community. Our faraday bags offer military-grade EMP protection (MIL-STD-188-125).

My name is Ryan Judy and I have been working within the security preparedness industry for about 14 years. I started MOS Equipment in Santa Barbara California and began product development for our Mission Darkness faraday bag device shielding lineup.

MOS Equipment offers a comprehensive selection of radio frequency shielding solutions primarily for law enforcement and military forensic investigators, executive travel protection, survival prepping, and anyone concerned with keeping digital information secure or wanting EMP protection. Our products come in specific dimensions and styles to shield devices ranging in size from keyfobs to large electronics like computer towers.

All of our faraday bags include at least two layers of high-shielding fabric on all sides with dual paired seam construction to block WiFi, Bluetooth, cell signals, GPS, RFID, and radio signals with 60dB80dB average attenuation. The mission darkness faraday bag device shielding fabric and electronic devices inside are protected by a durable ballistic nylon water-resistant outer layer.ss Faraday Bag Device Shielding

How can one tell if a faraday bag is working? 

Our customers expressed growing concern about their data security due to the possibility of being hacked, tracked, or spied on, especially while the rampant data breaches within large corporations. Also, our customers are realizing that more and more of their preparedness equipment rely on some sort of electrical element that not only needs to be protected against the weather but other natural & man-made disasters as well.

We have developed a free app that accurately tests whether your device is receiving any signals. This can help prove our product’s effectiveness as well as any DIY faraday cages customers decide to build using our DIY faraday cage kit materials.

Has there ever been an event in your life that has played a role in your preparedness mindset?

It wasn’t until I had my first child that I really started taking preparedness a bit more seriously. Along with buying baby food and toys, my wife and I began buying family security items starting with Smart Home products such as cameras and alarm systems. My family preparedness kits including my ‘bug-out-bag’ and first aid kits have also grown substantially which has not only given me more peace of mind but also more confidence that I can protect not only myself but my family as well in any given situation.

Do you personally have a preparedness goal you are currently working on?

My current on-going project is adding to our growing stock of emergency supplies especially after being affected by the Thomas Fires, the largest wildfire in modern California history. We were fortunate to have a large enough stock on hand to get us through the grocery store shortages and the need to stay indoors for extended periods of time due to the smoke. The internet was down for a few days, which served as a reminder to keep off-grid communications equipment stored and Faraday-protected. With our Mission Darkness Faraday Bag line, we continue to promote personal security awareness and the benefits to being ready for any situation (including EMP attacks or CME occurrences) by attending trade shows and conferences on the subject.
