WindRelay Android Malware Turns Victims' Phones Into NFC Relays for Payment Fraud
A previously unknown Android malware family called WindRelay captures contactless payment card data via NFC and relays it to attackers in real time. Deployed alongside the SpyNote remote access trojan, it enables fraudsters to intercept live payment information from compromised devices.
Why it matters: Organizations and consumers using contactless payments are exposed to real-time card data theft; practitioners should monitor for SpyNote infections and review NFC-capable device security controls.
