NFCShare Android malware spreads via fake banking app updates on GitHub

NFCShare Android malware is being spread through fake banking app updates on GitHub and now targets customers of multiple banks across Europe to steal payment card data. The malware uses a fake NFC verification screen to capture card details and a PIN, then sends the stolen information to its C2 server for relay-based payment fraud. #NFCShare #D3Lab #Intesa #Sella #Nexi #Fideuram #Mooney #CaixaBank #DeutscheBank
