confounding
the original is factually wrong. This device protects your personal electronics from hostile scanners by not entirely blocking them, but effectively reducing the signal strength of your stuff. Straightforward. No confusion involved. So "defeating" is the sense, but confounding is close enough.

Do you need RFID-blocking protection?
Because RFID credit cards work via radio frequencies, some concern has been drummed up that a card reader could pick up your card information without your knowledge. For this reason, there are quite a few products on the market, such as sleeves and wallets, that claim to have RFID protection.
...
Special RFID-blocking wallets and sleeves, despite their popularity, generally aren’t necessary for security because the technology requires an obstruction-free environment.
