NGate Steals NFC Data to Clone Contactless Payment Cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered new Android malware that can relay victims’ contactless payment data from physical credit and debit cards to an attacker-controlled device with the goal of conducting fraudulent operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The malware “has the unique ability to relay data from victims’ payment cards, via a malicious app installed on their Android devices, to the attacker’s rooted Android phone,” researchers Luk\u00e1\u0161 \u0160tefanko and Jakub Osmani said in an analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
