  2. Stolen phones - and specifically iPhones - have robust anti-theft protections. They are worthless once they're flagged - locked to their owner. So why are millions still being stolen every year?
    In this paper, we uncover a thriving underground marketplace focused on unlocking stolen phones. It is powered by:

    Lookalike domains impersonating Apple, Xiaomi, Samsung and other brands
    Smishing campaigns targeting device owners
    Pay‑as‑you‑go “unlocking” tools sold on Telegram
    By pivoting on DNS data, we identified 10,000+ malicious domains and a growing ecosystem turning locked devices into profit at scale.

  4. ⚠️ 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.
