New NGate variant hides in a trojanized NFC payment app

ESET researchers identified a new variant of NGate malware embedded in a trojanized NFC payment application, potentially developed with artificial intelligence (AI) assistance. The discovery marks another evolution of the malware family targeting payment systems.

Why it matters: Mobile payment users and financial institutions need to verify NFC app authenticity, as this variant threatens transaction security and sensitive payment data.
