China's Ministry of State Security has just issued a red alert regarding the risks posed by NFC. This technology is convenient, but it inadvertently becomes an "open door" for criminals.
If the counterfeit device gets within 10cm, it can deduct money immediately. In megacities, miniature credit card scanning devices have appeared on the underground market.
The risk is not only losing money but also having your private data collected in sophisticated ways. Fake apps can create detailed "behavioral maps" of users. The solution is to only turn on NFC when necessary, disable passwordless payments, and update the operating system.
Caution is the shield that helps you control technology instead of being controlled by it. Readers are invited to watch the following video : Iris scanning tool to verify human identity | VTV24
