Re: So?
"Do you keep yours in a NFC/RFID blocking wallet? I'll bet you don't.
If you don't then it is vunerable to being scanned and then cloned. ID Theft at it's most basic.
"
Two points.
1) "NFC blocking wallets" don't work unless you earth your wallet. They might mitigate the signal from a regular reader enough to stop it, but a up-powered nfc reader would get through no problem.
2) You cant clone an NFC's secure information store unless you can break public/private key encryption, as that's what the exchange is based on. Cheap door access systems might just use the public element, but payment systems don't (some.might use crap encryption.like that dutch tram company though)
