Can an ETC card inserted in a car be stolen and swiped?

[HaydenRose]

ETC cards inserted in cars are generally not susceptible to theft or fraudulent swiping, as ETC requires the insertion of a dedicated ETC card that can only communicate with authorized devices, such as ETC equipment at highway entrances and exits. Handheld devices cannot conduct transactions, making the possibility of theft or fraudulent swiping after loss almost nonexistent. However, it is recommended to remove the ETC card when parking to further prevent any potential fraudulent activity. ETC Card Binding: ETC card binding can be divided into two scenarios: one involves binding a credit card, and the other involves binding a debit card. How ETC Works: Through the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield of the vehicle, specialized short-range communication is established with the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station. This utilizes computer networking technology to perform backend settlement processing with the bank, thereby achieving the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the highway or bridge tolls.
