Can someone read my payment or access card unnoticed?

NFC skimming exists, but range is centimeters. Payment cards: max contactless limit. Access cards (mifare classic): real risk.

support/beveiliging/nfc-skimming-pasjesteps: 4

Try this first

  1. Sensitive access card in RFID blocker sleeve
  2. Access control: replace old mifare classic with DESFire EV2/EV3
  3. Don't keep work badge and payment card in same sleeve
  4. Lost: block at facility immediately
