Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail
Amazon has banned the sale of the FlipperZero gadget, a handheld device that can hack into digital frequencies, after it was discovered that it can clone credit card information, violating Amazon's rules on card skimming. The device gained popularity through TikTok pranks, with users using it to disrupt classes, manipulate restaurant screens, and interfere with vehicles. While it can be used for harmless pranks, it also has more nefarious capabilities, such as intercepting car key signals and opening card-locked doors. Amazon sent a warning to third-party sellers to stop selling the device, citing its card skimming abilities.
