Your Expired Visa Card Could Be ‘Zombified’ to Make Contactless Payments
Research reveals that expired Visa cards can be repurposed for contactless payments through a technique called 'zombification,' allowing attackers to exploit payment systems after cards are no longer valid. The findings highlight a gap in Visa's contactless payment security model that could enable fraud without cardholder authorization.
Why it matters: Payment processors, card issuers, and merchants need to assess the risk of unauthorized contactless transactions on expired cards and implement stronger validation checks to prevent fraud.
