Two days ago, the New York Sheriffs’ Office warned about Android #NGate malware It can steal (relay) your card details & PIN, letting threat actor withdraw cash via ATMs—without your card. It abuses #NFC tech used for tap-to-pay. Here is explanation video how it works 👇

Official Warning for Android Users by NY Sheriffs’ Association

How to protect yourself against NGate: - Install banking apps ONLY from Google Play or your bank - Ignore links in texts/emails - Hang up on fake “bank” calls - Use trusted mobile security - Don't put card on back side of your phone if requested by app

it literally can only be used while your card is on your phone and the app is reading lmao stop with the scare tactics, no threat actor is standing at a cashier every second of the day waiting for the ping tha gives them 2 seconds to use it

Czech police released video of a suspect arrested after withdrawing ~€6,000 from ATM using #NGate malware in March 2024 + more sources CZ - IT- BR - AU - PL -

did you read the article you sent me? they already had access to their banking and wired the funds to atm they controlled when they couldn't convince the victim to download the malware lmaoooooo

old news

Simple solution dont use pay apps.

Actually, using Google/Apple Wallet apps for contactless payments are the safest type of paying at PoS terminal, because it requests biometrics/PIN verification of smartphone owner.

Never understood why people tap-tap every purchase using their phone, keeping in mind their phone might be Pandora of malware ....it is the foundation of finance/security awareness

NFCProxy was great in a busy environment, relay through own portable network.🍻

@CaptainSmart_tv free lesson

man... this is like 10 years old. @killercsecurity published a paper on this way back...

@killercsecurity The key point is that threat actors have been actively exploiting it for the past year, not when the NFCgate paper or app were originally published.

Fxxk up technology

@cyberlagebild

Will be discussing/demoing this tech and mitigations at this weekend's GroundRod Level 2 class in Spokane, WA...
