The new Android malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform, SuperCard X, enables near-field communication (NFC) relay attacks, allowing cybercriminals to conduct fraudulent cashouts, especially in Italy. The multistage attack involves social engineering through deceptive messages, malicious app installations, and NFC data interception.

Google is developing a feature to block app installations from unknown sources to counter this threat.
