Are there security risks associated with NFC?

While NFC is a secure technology, there are some security risks associated with it.
NFC is a great way to make transactions faster and share information. With NFC, you can make payments, transfer data, share information and use contactless cards without having to enter any personal information you don’t need or wish to share.

However, it is important to understand the security risks associated with NFC, and to take steps to protect yourself.
NFC signals can be intercepted when within a quarter of an inch, which means that an attacker could gain access to the data being transmitted.
Additionally, NFC payments can be faked, which means that someone could make an unauthorized purchase on one of your device readers.

To protect yourself, it’s important to take the steps to ensure that your cards, like credit cards, and the device you use is secure, like a card swipe, and that you are using a reliable payment service or a contact you wish to share information with.

Using NFC for sharing information, such as contact info, website links, pictures and videos only transfers a link where you allow the information you wish to share and you choose who to share it with. Make sure your card is locked so no one can erase the info!
