Title: Android hacked via NFC
Post by: Glenn on Jul 27, 2012, 12:30:06
QuoteA skilled hacker has shown how to hijack a smartphone via a short-range radio technology known as Near Field Communication (NFC).

Charlie Miller created tools that forced phones to visit websites seeded with attack software.

The software on the booby-trapped websites helped Mr Miller look at and steal data held on a handset.
