Carding is evolving into NFC relay attacks powered by malware-as-a-service platforms, creating a new era of financial fraud [0:55].
Key Takeaways:
• NFC relay attacks surged over 35-fold comparing H2 2024 to H1 2025 [4:16]
• Supercardics is the first commercialized MaaS platform for NFC relay attacks with subscription tiers and support [7:19]
• Attacks combine social engineering (malicious app installation, PIN sharing) with NFC to relay card data in real-time [9:25]
• Traditional malware developers struggle to integrate NFC capabilities due to different attack methodologies [27:10]
Financial fraud will likely split between traditional malware and specialized NFC relay tools, requiring new defense approaches [31:15].
