The iPhone is usually believed to be harder for hackers to enter into Android because of security features and privacy equipped with iOS.
But, it seems that the hackers can find a way to avoid security measures by exploiting vulnerabilities with Visa cards, according to the telegraph report, based on the findings of security researchers at the University of Surrey and Birmingham who test the method.
This report has published its findings about hacking vulnerabilities when a visa card is set as a default card for Express Transit in Apple pay on the iPhone (this feature is called Travel Express in the UK).
It adds that only a visa card that can be exploited in this way and specifically states that the Apple Pay Express transit is paired with a MasterCard or American Express card is not at risk.
If the hacker has a person’s iPhone, and even if it is locked, they are reported to be able to deceive the system without contact by making dummy payment terminals to imitate how public transportation terminals work, which will enable them to make arbitrary transactions and thus suck.
Cash obtained with your hard-earned as Apple Pay Express Transtit allows transactions without contact in the London Underground and other modes that you do not need FACEID or TouchID authentication.
The report claims that researchers can make transactions of £ 1000 using a locked iphone, without any authentication.
“Unlike a contact card, which is closed payment at £ 45, there is no limit on the Apple payment transaction, which means in theory theory of a person’s bank account or their credit card limit, just by stealing an iPhone, or quietly holding the terminal to the device bag or pocket.
“, said the report.
