Are NFC Cards Secure? Busting Common Myths

As with any new technology, questions about security are natural. Let's address some common myths about NFC business cards.

Myth 1: Anyone can steal my data from my pocket.

Fact: NFC stands for 'Near Field Communication' for a reason. The chip in your card can only be read from a very close distance, typically less than 4 centimeters. It's impossible for someone to casually walk by and scan your card without your knowledge.

Myth 2: The card contains sensitive personal information.

Fact: Your NFC card only stores the information you program it with. At NFCBuzz, this is typically a URL to your website, a social profile, or a vCard file. It does not contain any private financial data or passwords. You are in complete control of what you share.
