The NFC (Near - Field Communication) feature has grown to be almost omnipresent in smartphones, prized for its ease of use and the frequency with which it is employed. This technology isn't just used for making payments; it can also take the place of access badges, transit cards, and simplify the process of transferring files. Nevertheless, the National Security Ministry has put out a warning stating that the NFC function harbors potential security hazards. It could act as a gateway for the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, presenting a serious and invasive threat to vital infrastructure systems and posing systemic difficulties for data security management. In light of this, the National Security Ministry offers the following advice to users: Don't be readily persuaded to turn on NFC. Keep your systems and software regularly updated. Refrain from taking NFC - equipped devices into areas where sensitive information is handled. Exercise strict control over the software permissions that allow access to NFC. Stick to the principle of 'only turn it on when absolutely necessary,' and make sure to turn off NFC promptly after use.
