It's amazing how much NFC stuff is still badly done - and how bad the response to discoveries is. I recently got a police report filed against me here in Finland for pointing out that guarding personal details of kids and parents on a phone used in daycare by an empty tag, just by the tags UID is probably a stupid idea.
It doesn't surprise me, the vendor probably thinks they're Agile, their team delivered a Minimum Viable Product and then their Management sold it. Security was always meant to be in a future Sprint.
If that model works for web services, it ought to work for anything, right?
Merriam Webster defines "agile (technology)" as "synonym for trash".
