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!

@softbread1728 maybe watch the video 👀
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.
I'm immune to the flipper. I only use cash. No credit, debit, or bank card. If I didn't live the way I do and had one, I'd be very concerned about right now. Sometimes the best defense against high tech is to be low tech.

Just a clarification: The nfc cards that were "copied" aren't actually vulnerable to attacks of this sort, nowadays EMV bank cards have cryptographic algorithms that run inside their chips to verify transactions using a sort of public-private key transaction with the bank through POS terminal. What this attack is doing is essentially stealing the ID that the card uses (aka card number) to identify itself with the bank so it can send back a challenge code. This might be helpful to cybercriminals as some credit cards send all of their information through the nfc signal (including cvv and exp date which might be used to make online transactions), but should not work for performing transactions at contactless terminals with the flipper.

It cannot, the codes generated by multiple cards confuse the reader showing errors when trying to read the cards.
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.
