google wallet use link card and tap

TnG u still need to physically take phone out, unlock and take picture of the QR code

it's not who is safer, it's the "method"

i always abide by 1 rule = "if it's hard for you, it's gonna be harder for the thief", "if it's easy for you, it's easy for the thief"

bought bellroy on black friday and really love the wallet

You still need to physically unlock your phone, switch on Google Wallet to use.

Samsung Wallet. You need to physically unlock your phone. Then password to open Samsung Wallet.

I don't think it is less safe than TnG.

TnG common in Malaysia. When outside of country, Google wallet more useful

I never give a thought about this,

Can you give a scenario in what condition this would be a risk?

delusional people or people that are not good in IT i guess will leave their NFC running 24/7, exposing themselves
who knows, even i that am good in IT knowledge also knew that there are many thing i also don't know

so to 100% prevent it from NOT happening, the best way is to not use it at all
because we never know what kind of tool thief has to steal anything from us

like i said a few post back, there is nothing to steal if there is nothing there in the 1st place

Yes. I tested it at petrol station by tapping my wallet to the card reader. With the RFID blocker in my wallet, my card couldn't be read, but it could be read after I removed the blocker.

people like to wear clothes
some people like to naked

nothing wrong just preference

you tak suka you keluar

OWAI

inb4 TS bought a cheapo fake and got scammed ....

Doesnt care.

Apple pay works all the time

u not travel enough ...dont see big pic

I meant if the NFC is left active all the time, what can the pother party gain? Sniffing credit card data from your ApplePay or SamsungPay apps by using special apps in his phone?

I think this is unlikely to happen because you still need to initiate payment for data to be sent out

I think this probably just a metal in shape of credit card. This will effectively block RF signal from reaching antenna inside the credit card because a big metal piece is not tuned to receive the frequency transmitted.

Paywave attack means transaction is instant. You phone may have notification. But if you did not hear it or ignored it like my aunt did, you would be looking at a Rm 46.99 google moomoo.ai transaction in today's activities.

humans are like this
they always unlikely until it happened

thn they try to shift the blame to everybody else
thn the one that didn't use it at the 1st place is laughing at those people that uses it and got hacked for being stupid

it's always like this from what i saw

in my years experience with electronic and stuff, nothing is perfect...everything has a loophole/vulnerability...nothing beats mechanical shit
even on my "physical stuff", i still abide to a rule that's if it's hard for me, it's gonna be harder for the thief and thief don't like troublesome/hard things

use la
buy shopee rm10 only
need to take out then can pay wave

you don't need to initiate anything when tapping debit/credit card with those credit card machines with value less than RM250

The RFID blocking card that I bought only RM1 or 2 per piece. Anyway like I said nowadays it's pretty normal for wallets to have RFID blocking feature.
