Mobile security risk: New Android malware "SuperCard X" enables contactless payment fraud via NFC relay attacks 
Here’s how it works:
Victims are socially engineered through fake bank alerts (smishing + calls) Tricked into installing a rogue app posing as “security software” NFC data is intercepted from real debit/credit cards Attackers relay stolen credentials to PoS terminals and ATMs for fraudulent cashouts
Why it matters:
• Attackers no longer need stolen physical cards — just proximity + deception
• Banking customers, payment providers, and card issuers are all at risk
• Google is working on Android protections — but vigilance is key now
Tip: Always scrutinize app installs, verify messages before acting, and keep Google Play Protect enabled.
