WindRelay Malware Pairs With SpyNote RAT in Live-Call Scam

A scammer deployed WindRelay near-field communication (NFC) malware and SpyNote remote access trojan (RAT) together to clone payment cards while interacting with victims in real time. The combined attack vector allowed the fraudster to capture card data and maintain live control over compromised devices during calls.

Why it matters: Payment card users and financial services organizations face active threats from multi-payload malware combining interception and remote control capabilities; defenders should monitor for SpyNote and NFC-based skimming paired with RAT activity.
