New Variants of Prilex Blocks Contactless NFC Transactions

A New Prilex PoS malware variant has been observed blocking NFC-enabled contactless credit card transactions and forcing users to insert credit cards for transactions. In fact, an attacker can configure the malware to capture card data only if it is a Black/Infinite or Corporate card. Retailers are suggested to use the right security solution in place in PoS modules to stop malicious code from tampering with the transactions.
