Yes, absolutely. Read the article though - she read an RFID card, which yes, can be read by anyone,using any reader available on the marker. This is NOT how new contactless cards are implemented - new ones use NFC for active transmission, which requires a valid authorization key to release their details. With RFID she could've read anything she wanted from these cards.
