The Prilex malware is now able to block contactless NFC card payments.  By doing so, threat actors can get customers to use their cards in a reader that has previously been compromised to steal their information. Contactless payment systems payments use near-field communication technology implemented in Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Fitbit Pay, or other popular forms of payment. This payment technology has risen in popularity since the pandemic, resulting in increased interest from threat actors to use it in their favor. The new feature was tracked in Prilex version 06.03.8080, 06.03.8070, and 06.03.8072.
