Amazon Bans Flipper Zero Tool

April 10, 2023
Reading Time: 2 mins read
in News

Amazon has removed the Flipper Zero portable multi-tool from its platform, citing it as a card-skimming device. The Flipper Zero is a compact pen-testing tool that allows users to experiment with and debug various digital and hardware devices via various protocols.

Since its launch, users have demonstrated its capabilities to activate doorbells, conduct replay attacks to unlock cars and open garage doors, and clone a wide range of digital keys.

Currently, some links to previously available Amazon pages selling Flipper Zero tools are dead and displaying “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page” errors, while others list it as “Unavailable.”

Amazon categorizes card-skimming devices under its Lock Picking & Theft Devices restricted product category, along with key duplicating devices and shoplifting devices such as sensormatic detachers. The only listings one can find right now when searching for Flipper Zero on Amazon are accessories like WiFi Devboards, screen protectors, and silicone cases.

Amazon has warned Flipper Zero sellers to check all their other listings and remove all other restricted products within 48 hours or face account deactivation.

However, those selling Flipper Zero on Amazon were doing it at a markup, and some potential buyers may not be upset by the Amazon ban. If you want to buy a Flipper Zero, you can still get one from the maker’s official store, which gets restocked regularly.

The Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency has also been seizing incoming Flipper Zero purchases based on its alleged use by criminals. Brazilians who bought the devices say the government agency has rejected all attempts to certify the device.

It is unclear whether the Amazon ban is temporary or if the company will maintain the sale restriction.

Nonetheless, the Flipper Zero continues to garner interest from the hacking and pen-testing community due to its versatility, ease of use, and small size, despite the Amazon ban.
