Good video, Liron! Nicely informative and concise! Been working with chip cards since 1991. The ways that they can be hacked (even before RFID) was scary then. When I got my first card with RFID, I got one of the RFID shielding sleeved because I already knew how vulnerable the cards were. I mean, come on, folks! If a terminal in a store can read it, how hard do you think it is to get something like Flipper and read someone's card info? Thanks again!

About 10 years ago I saw an item on TV in France. They walked through a shopping mall with a similar device and succeeded in taking one Euro from the credit or debit cards of about 20 people in the mall. The TV program immediately refunded the money but that was scary. They could have taken up to the tap transaction limit which for most cards is about 200 euro. So like 4,000 Euro in a 10 minute walk through a mall. I have used those sleeve things ever since.

Another great video. You mentioned that the Flipper can give the thief your credit card information and the expiry date, and then you are showing us that when adding a new credit card, with Amazon (for example), they only asks you for your Credit Card number, the Name on the card, and the Expiry Date. So does Flipper also capture a person's Full Name as well?

As far as I know that card you put in your wallet to protect the other cards does so by taking all the power of the nfc device. You can also use one of the paper based travel cards (like oyster cards in London). Based off that though, I wondered if just having multiple cards all together would stop the flipper from being able to read any single card because all cards will try to use power at once.

[@krispewkrem3]

You people are hilarious. You can use aluminum foil. All you need to do is create a layer of materiel the signal can’t go through. Like having your phone in a tunnel. Basically a Ferreday cage. It’s like boomers don’t know what rfid blocking wallets are.

I have a flipper and I can say with certainty that the threat of using one to grab someone’s information from a card even in their pocket is extremely unlikely. Is it possible? I mean… sorta.
