PETALING JAYA: A hacking device that can duplicate car keys, near field communication ( C) access cards, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, automatic gate or garage door remote controls, and even open certain electronic safes is available on popular e-commerce platforms.

The pocket-sized device can read and emulate C signals when placed next to an C-enabled access card and, to a certain extent, record codes transmitted by older car key fobs.
