Cybercriminals have devised a novel method to cash out from stolen credit card details linked to mobile payment systems such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, dubbed 'Ghost Tap,' which relays NFC card data to money mules worldwide.

The tactic builds upon the methods previously deployed by mobile malware like NGate, documented by ESET in August, which involved relaying Near Field Communication (NFC) signals from payment cards.
